My bonnet has started creaking and it getting worse. It sounds terrible during polishing/washing. I am sure I can hear it on the move as well but thats perhaps me being paranoid. Has anyone had similar problems or found a cure ?

Sorry, I thought you were referring to "all" Impreza's. Your name confused me

Yep, mine creaks too. Dealer said he'd do something about it... 11 months on...

It seems to be the rubber covered button that's the 'bonnet open' sensor.

At the next service (or tyre change) I'll ask again about getting it sorted.

Question

Never had that on mine - first I've heard of it to be honest.

I wondered if it was the rubber button you mention, I covered this with a square of felt but it hasn't worked[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I'm determined to crack this one like I did with the B pillar rattle. Your clues and observations help. £10 prize for anyone with information leading to the silence of this rattle (only joking)

Hi Yorkie Mate - not noticed the creaking bonnet on our MY02, but it does seem to flex/vibrate a bit at 80+......
