Vibrating bonnet?

Wondered if anyone else has experienced this, at around 1k revs my bonnet starts vibrating loudly, like it's vibrating against something, but there's nothing underneath or above catching it, and when you put pressure on it, the noise goes away.

Anyone had/solved this?
 
I had this mate, probably because I had the poly engine mounts though..
Firstly I tried messing with the rubber stops either side to try and stop it, didn't have any luck.
I had to loosen the bonnet catch and move it a little bit so the bonnet was like proper held down by it.
Another thing that rattled on mine was the bonnet arm which holds the bonnet up ;)
 
Yeah mate have a play with both the rubber stops and the bonnet catch itself, try and find the right level as well because obviously you don't want it sitting too high/low or at a dodgy angle.
Good luck as well :)

A lady owner didn't have the car before you by any chance? :D
 
Haha! Unfortunately no, two blokes, which probably makes it even worse...

Had a go with a rubber stops, the bonnet sits nice and flush but the noise is still there.
 
bonnet vibration

mine was vibrating at one point it was driving me mad i just raised the rubber stoppers and the vibrating stopped

:wave:
 
Had a little play around with the stops again today (quite hard when the adjustment is really vague!), seems to have sorted it actually.

Nice one guys.
