Glad it solved the issue! Took me a few months and multiple dealer visits to diagnose.

I’m guessing the sound went away? I just make cleaning it part of the vehicle washing process and haven’t had an issue in months.

I only apply the lube to the piece of plastic that is closet to the engine bay.

I clean the plastic and hood area that contact each other with a damp rag. Then I spray the lubricant onto a rag and wipe it across the plastic edge that makes contact with the hood. I use 303 aerospace protectant bc that’s what I had laying around and it works. The noise goes away instantly and...

I have no idea how it made so much noise. I thought it was my suspension clunking. Just try it… takes 30 seconds to see if it resolves your issue

If enough people bring it up as an issue to Toyota and they diagnose it then I’m sure Toyota will fix it. It’s not a huge deal to me anymore, every time I wash my vehicle I just wash that weather stripping and never hear the noise. Is it a perfect fix? No, but it’s a fix.

Clean this rubber and the area that contacts the hood. Then apply some silicone lubricant or protector to the hard rubber, I use 303 aerospace protectant. This was the fix for my clunk. I do this everything I wash the truck or it’ll start making noise again. Took me months and many dealer trips...

Any noticeable squat in the rear with the smart cap and decked?

Time to take off the white TRD OR sticker

For sure, hopefully it prevents a headache for someone else

Update: Noise came back and had the meeting with the Toyota factory rep today to diagnose. After about an hour of trial and error. The noise ended up coming from the firewall side weatherstrip that contacts the hood. It’s a harder plastic that contacts the bare metal when closed. He cleaned and...

The Toyota factory rep is coming the 22nd, I plan to still attend that appointment to show them how simple a fix it was and how they couldn’t diagnose it in 3 days, resulted to it be “normal”.

There are two bumpers, one on each side of the hood to add pressure to the hood when it’s latched and adjust the height between the hood and fenders. My driver side bumper was threaded far down and was barely applying any pressure, if any. I unscrewed it to match the size of the passenger bumper...

Figured it out! It’s the hood. I was stumped as to why the noise stopped yesterday after washing it. So I recreated what I did, poured water onto each shock/bushing i could find, one at a time. Noise stayed. Then remember I popped the hood to dry it. So I pulled the latch and drove a few feet...

Everything looks good and is tight. The noise almost sounds like a cracked or dry rotted bushing. I washed the truck today and the sound was gone. Drove it two hours later and it was back.

So my 2024 TRDOR has developed a noise at low speeds. I’ve noticed it for the last 800ish miles, only 2000 miles on it currently. When driving slow speeds, 10 mph or so in the neighborhood or parking lot, I get an audible clunkfrom the front end when going over small bumps or even some cracks...
