Default Squeek/rattle sound from the cowl area

I get this squeeky,rattle, sound coming from the cowl area about half of the time while driving. This is my 4th C4 (87,90,94 & 95) and they all have the same squeek/rattle sound coming from that area. Any ideas of exactly where it might be coming from and how to correct it? :confused:

Try some lithium grease on the rubber stops the hood rests on, this is a very common culprit to what you describe and the grease often solves it.

adjust the hood release catches on the hood, but the grease is usually it.
