A hood stop buffer sits between the closed hood and the body. It helps limit metal-to-metal contact and hood movement. Because this bumper is adjustable, you can fine-tune where the hood rests to help it line up with the surrounding panels. Signs a buffer may need replacing include a hood that rattles or vibrates while driving, a hood that sits uneven with the fenders, or a buffer that is cracked, worn or missing.
