My GQ rattles in a lot of places, tortures of the corrugated roads. I also have a rattle that sounds like the door but actually is the bonnet hinge. Got to fix it but havn't had the time yet. Hope this helps

Hi Paul.
I had a similar sounding problem with my GQ shorty which annoyed thebleepe out of me for some time. A friend found it in a few seconds (dammit!) by giving the bonnet a firm push towards the windscreen while I sat in the drivers seat. The bonnet hinges had worn enough for them to rattle on rough surfaces. The GQ normally has no rubber support/locators along the guards unlike most other vehicles. The quite heavy bonnet is supported by the hinges only at the rear and the bumbers near each headlight.
When I bought my current (98 model) GQ wagon, I made 2 changes within weeks to the front. I bought some rubber locators from a wrecker and fitted them, 2 each side, on the guards under the bonnet edges. I also removed the grill and its stupid little plastic clips, and replaced them with 1/4" bolts to hold the grill firmly in place. Did this to fix the grill in the shorty after I discovered it was moving a good 1/2" vertically on rough roads after the plastic clips had worn/fallen out.
Hope this helps and good luck.
