Turn these bumpers in or out by hand to adjust the closing of doors or the hatch.

Slider rattles may often be fixed by "floating" the plastic receivers that hold the door in position relative to the body.

The hood bumpers are located at the front corners of the engine bay. They're threaded so you can turn them by hand to adjust how the hood closes. Adjust them if the hood is too hard to close or if there's any movement when it's latched.
