    After 4 years of '95 355 GTS ownership I have finally sound a source of a very annoying rattle noise, the front hood. When I reach out and push down on the hood near the latches the noise ceases. The latches can be adjusted but then the hood shuts below the fender line. Has anyone had this problem and solved it?

    In what condition are your rubber snubbers? See Item 15 ("pad")

    Ferrari F355 M2.7 (1995) Parts : Table 118 - OPENING DEVICE FOR FRONT HOOD

    I have next to no experience on the Ferrari, but on my F355, I see that these pads/snubbers can be wound out and spacers put underneath. This should help with the rattle. First, however, I would loosen off the latches (you adjusted earlier) so you don't bend the hood trying to get the hood to latch with the snubbers in the new position.

    Once the hood height is about right with the snubbers (pads), then you can adjust the latches.

    Hope this helps
    Cheers
    Ian.
