Finally got rid of rattle
I've had this annoying rattle that has been getting worse with time. It was coming from the rear of my car (94 camaro) but I could never pin point it. Today as I was driving to work it got so loud I was determined to find it. It didn't take long to discover it was one of the rear hatch rubber bumpers. They were both hard as a rock and the rubber threads were falling apart. None of the dealerships in the area had them so I went to pep boys in the help section and claimed the last pack. After spending $5 I installed them and what a difference. If you havn't replaced these I would recommend it. There's also two for the hood which I think I will replace. Now that that rattle is gone I can hear my pass. side window rattling louder. I'll have to fix that next.

One problem leads to another . I know how annoying squeaking cars are, but usually the fix isn't that easy to find or remedy

Just ask when you go there, each store is different. The bumpers are made by dorman part #45392. I bought the last pack at the store I was at.

my hood bumpers broke recently when I shut my hood without me noticing. it caused my hood to sit 1/2" lower than normal so when I turned my headlights on the lids rode up on top of the hood and scraped the hood down to the metal where it made contact. not a bad idea to replace them haha.
