"Chirping or squeeking" sound
I'm curious if anyone has had a sound from the drivers side mirror, windshield area that "chirps" when in motion. I don't think it's the suspension because it doesn't do it when you push the car up and down. I thought there might be something obvious as on our Armada. It has had specific things that was a common problem with noise.
Thanks,
Brian

Wrap a small piece of electrical tape around the loop on the hood catch. It will wear thin and you'll have to replace it maybe twice a year, but it will keep down the squeaks. (not metal to metal)
Also, screw out the rubber hood bump stops about 1/2 to a whole turn. They tend to wear out and work their way in and not support the hood properly. Backing them out will support the hood more and reduce squeaks.
Then go the the dealer's parts counter and order new hood bump stops. The ones installed at the factory are too short. The replacement bump stops will be about an inch longer than the ones you remove. Somewhere along the way Nissan superceded the part with the longer bump stops because the short ones didn't have enough mass to stay in place.
