2018-2022 Honda Accord EASY mod to help fix the vibration hood issue

Thought I would share this with you guys. This rubber weatherstripping really helps to stop the flow of air entering through the gap on the hood. It comes in a lot of different sizes so check what you guys would like. I also use it for the rear doors which helps it have a more solid feel when you shut the door. I’m sure it will help with the road noise. Check it out below:

All things I normally wouldn’t do…but after watching this video I ordered the weather strip from your link and am going to be installing that and the torque mount tomorrow to my 22. Thank you for the guidance Jon.

[@SamSabin]

I used to have the hood vibration over 60mph but ever since I adjusted a hood alignment from one of your videos, no more vibration

[@HondaJon]

Nice. I appreciate the feedback

[@kwasiagyeman-ym9ow]

Exactly the fix I was looking for. Let me go order

[@rayknight7690]

Bought my 2.0 touring back in 2018 and had the dash, console and trunk noise after much complaining and I mean a lot I got a check for $1800 back and still got the to fix all the noise in the car no charge to me and loaner car every time I needed it. Car is a beast I’m glad I can finally have a quiet cabin while the engine roar when that 10 speed start to kick up 😭😭 Squeaky wheel gets the oil.

Awesome man. That’s great they came though for you. I know how they can be. Enjoy that’s awesome ride my man. 👊🏼

[@miguelm8014]

Great video Jon! Just bought my 2.0 last month and I’m loving it! I do notice that there is way more road noise in the cabin than my previous 05 Accord. I’m sure the low profile wheels play a part, but it shouldn’t be that loud. Thinking of adding sound deadening material especially since I plan on upgrading the sound lol. Keep up the great videos!

[@HondaJon]

Thanks man. I appreciate it. Yeah I agree. I definitely hear the road more. Sound deadening sounds like a great idea. 👊🏼

[@someonesomewhere8805]

I bought a ‘19 Touring 2.0 on Halloween and so far no issues with rattles or noises. Honestly, even when I’ve got the stereo on I barely hear and road noise and I drive 60 miles a day on county roads for work. I only recently found your channel. Subbed.

[@HondaJon]

Thanks man I appreciate the support. A nice ride by the way. Yeah I agree there’s always going to be noises and rattles and any car. At first they bother be but now like you said I don’t really notice them.👊🏼

[@David-yh5po]

Thanks for sharing this video with us. This is the things that should have been done before we bought the car in my opinion.

[@HondaJon]

Thanks man. I agree. You can definitely see some cost cutting things here.

[@hectorgarcia6850]

I got my 2018 Accord EX-L 2.0 on Oct. 18. I loved the car except for the road noise, specially coming from the rear of the cabin. To resolve the issue, I removed all door, hood, and trunk lid panels, all of the trim from the trunk sides and floor as well as the rear seat and the back shelf trim. I applied a Noico brand butil sound deadening material to all bare metal surfaces. In addition, I applied a 1/8 inch thick dense foam laminate to insulate both heat and sound in some locations. My road noise at 70mph went from 72 dBa to 42 and I can enjoy my music at a sound level of 15. I applied the rubber trim on the front edge of the hood just as you did, for the purpose of keeping my engine bay clean, in Chicago winters. I also applied that trim in the bottom edge of the door rockers to keep them clean. This also contributed to reduce wind/road noise. I still get tire/ road noise coming from the front, but removing front carpet and trim is a big job

[@HondaJon]

Thanks Man. Yeah am definitely going to look into doing that. I would love it to be Quieter inside. How long did it take you?

[@hectorgarcia6850]

Honda Jon a full weekend, but believe me, my car is quieter than a Lexus 300. You’ll love the improvement. I can give you the Amazon reference for the materials and tools

[@jasonbeane5706]

Awesome Idea. My Aluminum hood that honda went with on accord is horrible. Vibrating going down the road. Idling making a horrible sound. This fixed it. #hondahoodfix

[@HondaJon]

Nice. Yeah it definitely helps. The lighter hood I guess helps with mpg but I can’t imagine it really making a noticeable difference

Easy way to get auto start for under $200. Just buy an ex remote and have them program it don't even mention anything about the auto start, it will work the car is pre-wired for the auto start I have an 18 sport I did it....believe me it works!! perfect. Guessing it will work on the lx models as well.

If you ever want to take your bumper off you will need to cut three pieces for the hood seal. Those black plastic pieces come off separately.

[@HondaJon]

Definitely good to know. Thanks for that. 👍🏻

[@Mcbebblestin]

One day you should open the dash and show us how to install foam tape on the heater box to stop the rattle. The temp fix hardly works for me ;(

[@pkalinow]

YES! Please figure out a way to solve this issue. It's driving me crazy. Plus the rattles coming from near the seatbelt area on both sides? Love the car but compared to the 9th gen its a rattlebox.

[@Mcbebblestin]

pkalinow I GET THE SAME RATTLES FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE SEATBELTS TOO

[@aito8467]

Yes! The seatbelt rattle is killing me softly!!!

[@benkimmel5499]

My seatbelt on the passenger side USED TO rattle. I had the Honda Dealer look at it during an oil change, and they said the retractor was causing the rattling sound. They were able to change the entire passenger belt under the warranty, and the noise has been GONE ever since. Worth a try!

[@aito8467]

[@sierrabeamer6476]

hey honda jon. this was a awesome video. i was in a car wreck where I was plowed into the front passenger corner. They are on the 2nd hood with my car cause the lines are meshing well

[@sierrabeamer6476]

Do you have any videos of maybe how to align? I’ve had the hoot flutter bad on the 2nd hood- after my wreck- but like i said 3 rd hood today-

[@HondaJon]

Is it off a lot? If it’s not flush with the fenders, the rubber grommets can be spun in or out to bring the hood higher or lower. If it’s not aligned side to side you can loosen the bolts that hold it to the brackets and align that way. They have play in them. Just do not loosen them too much cause then it’s hard to align back. Just push a tad and check and continue that way until you get it even on both sides. Hope that helps.

[@sierrabeamer6476]

@@HondaJon JON you are a rock star i complelety forgot about those rubber bumpers- i did that with the last hood, this was the primed one they set on today to see if i was happy. it was alot better stamped.

[@HondaJon]

Yeah. A lot Of the times Honda will tweak certain things especially since yours is the third year. They don’t have to wait for a refresh to make minor tweaks if they have enough complaints. That’s nice yours is solid 👍🏻

[@smokesgtp]

@@HondaJon yeah must be. I had a 7th and 8th gen that were both later in the model cycle and had good luck also. I'm sure they make tweaks. For example I heard about some of the intercooler hoses popping off on 2018's and some 19's but haven't seen it on any 20's yet.

[@jehadwadi4554]

Honestly I was blown away by the accord 2.0 coming from a tuned bmw 440. But it seems to suffer from a lot of problems, is this why im seeing camrys way more?

[@HondaJon]

I think a lot of new vehicles suffer from all the cost cutting. I still feel honda powertrains are some of the best out there.

[@jehadwadi4554]

Honda Jon Yea the driving dynamics for a big economy sedan is levels above the competition. Honestly it makes 4 cylinder BMWs overpriced. Think this accord will be my next car.

[@HondaJon]

I agree with you. For the price you do get a lot of features and Honda’s great engines and transmissions. I enjoy mine very much. I get compliments all the time and it’s an Accord 👍🏻

[@HondaJon]

Thanks man for that. I appreciate it. I agree. For the price the Accord gets a lot right.

[@socksamazingchannel]

Great video! Jon if you can, you should make a video on how to reduce all vibrations haha, there are so many squeeks and rattling from within the cabin when I drive. Idk if you experience this too.

[@HondaJon]

Lol. That would be too many videos 😆. I do from time to time. The 19 inch wheels do not help.

I see you have mods under hood. When it’s time for maintenance do you take it a Honda parts and service? If so will they service with mods on the engine, air intake etc?

[@HondaJon]

Yeah. That’s no problem. That’s why i don’t do major mods while under warranty. I don’t want any excuse why they will deny stuff.

[@tweekingeye]

Could change out my air intake on my EXL and still have them service it? That’s my concern making mods under the engine and get denied after. I only trust Honda to due service even they charge an arm and a leg for it ugh.

[@mashchowdhury7549]

Great video! Does your accord make a chirping/hissing or even a squeaking noise when the AC is on? I've been hearing some of that squeaking noise coming from under the hood for couple weeks now. I wonder if it's because the car is getting old (nearly 2 years)

[@HondaJon]

Thanks for watching man. I don’t hear anything like that. I can hear a little when it kicks on and off. Is the noise loud?

[@mashchowdhury7549]

@@HondaJon No, the noise is pretty quiet. It sounds strange, like something is leaking. I did some research and a lot of people on the Drive Accord forum have the same problem. I think I'm done with Honda man. They're great cars and all, but so far I've had sooo many problems that are really infuriating. Dash rattle, noises under the rear seats, noise inside the trunk, and also this one time I started my car and the turning signals, hazards, locks, windows, headlights etc everything stopped working. I started it up the next morning and everything back to normal. It's really annoying when a 2 years old car with 5k miles on it has this many problems lol. I'm going with a Camry next time for sure.

[@HondaJon]

I feel ya man. They definitely aren’t built the same. My previous accords were bulletproof. I feel like they add a lot of tech on newer cars but go cheaper on craftsmanship. If you get a Camry keep me posted on your thoughts on it. 👊🏼

[@moshter11]

I noticed a couple days ago chirping from the passenger vent when the a/c is on. It's a 2018.

[@next4887]

I read somewhere to cycle through your vent positions very quickly 2 or 3 times and the noise will stop temporarily. It seems to work. It has to do with the door vibrating in the a/c unit itself.

[@shelbyquattlebaumBig63]

Thanks for this idea! Great!

[@HondaJon]

Thanks for watching. I appreciate it

[@sierrabeamer6476]

So after my accident john i went thru two honda hoods. now both these hoods have flutter towards the windshield this weekend im going to try and realign it and add you suggestions to see if i can stop it

[@HondaJon]

Definitely let me know if it helps.

[@sierrabeamer6476]

Honda Jon I’m gonna try. I’m not at all happy with my body lines, so that’s really bugging me. Seen any good videos on realigning a hood? If i can’t get better feeling about my car i will be trading her i think.

[@HondaJon]

I’m sorry. I know. I do agree that the lines are not consistent. The dealer should adjust the hood for you. They can. I wouldn’t attempt it because once you loosen the hinge bolts it’s difficult to get it aligned. It’s easy to chip paint off trying. I would just tell the dealer to adjust the hood to even out the gaps a little better. But I doubt they’ll be perfect since a lot of it is the stamping of parts unfortunately

[@sierrabeamer6476]

Honda Jon yea this is the body shop- and when i went to the dealership no two accords we’re alike at all. The body gaps on these are awful.

[@cwdl2004]

How well those the adhesive from the 3m hold with high heat temperatures from so-cal? I really would like to know since you are putting it on the engine bay compartment it feels like the adhesive would melt make a mess under the hood

[@HondaJon]

Shouldn’t be a problem. Manufacturers use similar adhesive for the rubber stripping they use

[@Robbie2Fly]

Did you notice a decrease in road noise?

[@HondaJon]

No. Not from this. But adjusting the doors using the grommets does help depending on how they are adjusted from the factory

[@Robbie2Fly]

@@HondaJon where are the grommets located, and can you adjust these yourself.

[@HondaJon]

Thanks for the support. Don’t worry about the average economy. You reset that when you buy it. They are always low because of test drives and people moving them around the lot. When you start driving it will calculate how you drive and go up accordingly. You’ll have no problems getting high mpg. 👊🏼

[@jayjanyh2932]

On the forward edge of the back doors, there is an OEM weather strip. Is that snapped on or glued and is it molded to the shape of the door or is it flat?

[@HondaJon]

What do you mean the latch moves a lot? You can definitely adjust it. When the hood is closed does the hood have play in it ?

[@alex.welding302]

I haven’t noticed if the hood vibrates, but the way the latch is set up, instead on a normal latch it moves up or down to to clip onto the hood, it also moves frontward and backwords as if it’s not tighten down in other words it rotates in a sense

[@HondaJon]

Ok. I believe the latch is on a pivot. I know the accords are. I don’t think there is a way to tighten that part. I would see if it vibrates while driving. That’s the main issue with aluminum hoods.

[@Sto113]

What’s the size and where can I order this

[@HondaJon]

I would check eBay. You can order any size really since it will compress down. Or check Amazon and they have free returns.

Did the hood thing really work? No vibration

[@anirudhdams1]

so did it work with the hood vibration at 70-90 miles/hr speed after installing this ?
