- 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.
Exactly the fix I was looking for. Let me go order
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!
Thanks man. I appreciate it. Yeah I agree. I definitely hear the road more. Sound deadening sounds like a great idea. 👊🏼
Thanks for sharing this video with us. This is the things that should have been done before we bought the car in my opinion.
Thanks man. I agree. You can definitely see some cost cutting things here.
Great Idea Jon, i have a 2019 honda accord sport 2.0 that i have been doing mods to.I would have never thought of this. Thanks
No problem. Thanks for your support 👊🏼
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
Nice. I appreciate the feedback
Thanks for this. I can see my hood moving and it kind of freaks me out on the hwy lol
I know. Since honda went to aluminum hoods it definitely moves around quite a bit.
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
Nice. Yeah it definitely helps. The lighter hood I guess helps with mpg but I can’t imagine it really making a noticeable difference
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.
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.👊🏼
Thanks for this idea! Great!
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it
i dont have road noise on my Accord, but hood vibration is annoying and i don't know what to do, i will try rubber trim se if it helps. thank you for your video
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
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-
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.
@@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. If you can send me a pic of your under side of the hood where the sticker hook is I would be stoked. i think the stricker hook was also bent in shipping but I cant get anyone on the forums to get me a pic of the factory hood and im exhausted from going to the dealership and hounding sales guys
No problem. I will tomorrow. Message me at hondajon00@outlook.com. I will reply to it tomorrow with a pic. So you want to see the hood latch?
@@HondaJon sent to you last night
Thanks John!!!
Anytime 👍🏻
another awesome idea ,,, tyvm
Thanks ☺️
do you know any fix for the HOOD FLUTTER (vibration) for the 2.0t accord ?
Thanks Jon, this sure works, good stuff
Thanks man. I appreciate it. 👍🏻👊🏼
What is Honda’s official word on the hood flutter? And for cabin noise couldn’t one just buy touring tires?
Hey, I just started following you and I need help with the 2019 Honda Accord sport 1.5 before I buy it i seen online a specific one had just 200 miles on it but avg 13.3mpg so will the mpg go up to 40 like yours the more you drive it? Btw I live in ca.
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. 👊🏼
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?
I think it’s held on by clips. It is rounded and follows the contour of the door.
Did the hood thing really work? No vibration
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?
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.
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.
Do you worry that over time, the rubber might damage the paint that it contacts on the opposing frames?
No. It’s auto grade just like the other seals. It will be fine.
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
Shouldn’t be a problem. Manufacturers use similar adhesive for the rubber stripping they use
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. 👊🏼
so did it work with the hood vibration at 70-90 miles/hr speed after installing this ?
It definitely seemed to lessen it. I wouldn’t say it eliminated it but the hood doesn’t move nearly as much. Just a little air getting in between the hood and body causes a lot of movement
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)
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?
@@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.
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. 👊🏼
I noticed a couple days ago chirping from the passenger vent when the a/c is on. It's a 2018.
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.
There is already a huge seal on the front lip of the car hood. The new one you put on must smash the OEM one?
It doesn’t. It does create a nice seat. I can definitely see the difference
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.
Lol. That would be too many videos 😆. I do from time to time. The 19 inch wheels do not help.
@@HondaJon yeah 90% of it is the wheels. I also get a "whistling" noise coming from the side mirror at speeds above 50 mph. But I think you addressed this before
Yeah. Overall it’s pretty solid. I’m happy so far with everything. I appreciate your continued support and comments. I love hearing from you. 👊🏼
socksamazingchannel
I had the same whistling noise coming from my driver’s side mirror. The dealer fixed it under warranty thankfully. It seems to be a common defect on the 2018s!
@@alexanderarduini cool, I'll ask the dealer to fix it then
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.
Definitely good to know. Thanks for that. 👍🏻
Link please to buy...
I’ve had my 2020 civic for a month now, it has a small vibration (thinking it’s from the hood ) I’ve noticed the hood latch does move a lot, it really isn’t solid could this help ? Or should I try to tighten it down
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 ?
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
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.
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.

What percent window tint do you have?
I have 15% rear and 35% on all the other windows.
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
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?
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
Thanks man. Yeah definitely. I would love to make that a project. Making a car quieter inside is always a good thing.
@@hectorgarcia6850 What were all the materials you used for it?
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 ;(
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.
pkalinow I GET THE SAME RATTLES FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE SEATBELTS TOO
Yes! The seatbelt rattle is killing me softly!!!
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!
Ben Kimmel Thanks man
Hmm my hood doesn't vibrate at all, guess I got lucky. But I do have an annoying rattle by the back pillar
I have the same rattle, seems to be coming from the passenger side seat belt area... hate it
@@joelon3057 I have this rattle as well, have you solved that?
@@MangoAiq not yet... havent been to the dealer yet... waiting for something else to pop up before I go thru that ordeal lol
It’s the airbag curtain. Pull down the head liner a little and tighten the two bolts!!
@@jamesjesse713 Thank you! I'll take a look at that!
Thank you for share, you should be putting in the front door too?
No problem. That’s a good idea since it should help with road noise
Your videos are understandable and help us to get to know our vehicles better, greetings!
Thanks so much Carlos. I really appreciate that and your support. It’s a great community and nice to
Help eachother out. 👊🏼
To prevent rocks chips on the hood , how to protect from these coz I just got 2019 Honda Accord sport black
Nice purchase man. I would definitely apply some 3m clear protection for the front part of the hood. It definitely helps and it’s virtually invisible
Thanks jon, totally different ride from 2015 Honda Accord lx to this sport , handling is one of the best I have driven so far .
I agree. They really did a great job with this one. It feels much more expensive than it is. 👍🏻
I dont think the 21 22 have this issue . our 21 2.0t 10speed only has 2821 miles . Is this a thing that developed over time ??
I think they fixed it in newer ones
I haven't noticed this hood vibration on my 2020. I was looking for it but it's tough to tell on a black car. I guess I don't need to worry about it.
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 👍🏻
@@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.
Totally agree. After a couple years they can easily see what areas are prone to issues.
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
Definitely let me know if it helps.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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 👍🏻
Thanks man for that. I appreciate it. I agree. For the price the Accord gets a lot right.
Have you had ever had a wind noise by the top of the window or door?
I have. Honda’s seem to be notorious for that. I found that adjusting the rubber stops on the door definitely helped pull the door in more which helps reduce that noise.
Honda Jon thank you and going to try this tonight
No problem man. 👊🏼
Did it stop the vibration on the Highway?
I wouldn’t say stops but it does minimize it.
So that was great in theory but did you take it for a drive to look for the results? Just wondering if you saw a noticeable difference in cabin noise or hood vibration
Hi. Yes I definitely went for a drive and it made a noticeable improvement. When you get up to speed especially on the freeway the hood would really shake. Now it’s not nearly as bad. It doesn’t make a difference of course when stopped just idling.
Honda Jon... Thank you sir, I appreciate you responding so quickly and thank you for the tip
No problem man. Thank you. It’s these little things that really help the Accord be more enjoyable to drive. Best part is it doesn’t cost much.
What a shame the wanna save a few pounds and shave it off the hood. Personally I don’t think any hood should be so light that it flutters at highway speed. Bare minimum they should’ve reinforced the hood so it wouldn’t shake
I couldn’t agree more with you. But you know how car companies are nowadays. Even a couple pennies per car equals millions.
Did you fine any difference in the wind noise?
Not in wind noise. The hood doesn’t move around at highway speeds like it used to though.
Honda Jon I know you did this for the hood but also u added some of it in the back doors, that’s why I’m asking about the noise in the cabin did it improve it or not. However, I have accord 2006, and I want to reduce the wind noise that comes from the doors. Do u think that if I sealed the doors as u showed us will help in reducing the wind noise?
What’s the size and where can I order this
I would check eBay. You can order any size really since it will compress down. Or check Amazon and they have free returns.
I don’t have these issues in my 2020.
Does the vibration problem improved after that fix?
It does a bit. Only when driving though. When it’s idling this won’t change it.
Congratulations man. It’s just due to the aluminum hoods they use now. I’ve noticed some or worse than other. I do agree it kinda cheapens the reputation a bit.
Thanks man. I appreciate that. Yeah I do feel a vibration but a lot of it is due to a 4 cylinder engine. They aren’t the smoothest engines. My v6 pilot is a lot smoother by nature.
Dude do you have a video on how to stop the back deck rattle?
I don’t. I have not experienced that one yet. If I do I’ll definitely find a way to fix it. Where is it coming from?
Honda Jon omg it’s horrible. Any little bit of bass and the whole back deck is a giant rattle trap.
Sorry to hear. I’ll see if mine does it down the road and find the issue. Maybe just needs some sound deadening material around the speakers.
Dude me too. If i go over 60+ mph it rattles like crazy.
Haven’t found what it is .
I’ve been wanting to sit somebody back there n point it out where exactly where its at.
I M D I R T Y D A N ... if you find out how to fix it let me know!
Did you notice a decrease in road noise?
No. Not from this. But adjusting the doors using the grommets does help depending on how they are adjusted from the factory
@@HondaJon where are the grommets located, and can you adjust these yourself.
I just noticed my 2017 civic hatch has a seal in the same spot, wonder why they changed with accord
I
Know. I’m sure it is more cost cutting.
What is this rubber / tape called?
Just search up D weather stripping.
What size sid you use for stripping
What’s up bro what’s that seal called and around how thick?
It’s called a d seal. It’s about a 1/4 inch thick. They have different sizes roo
@@HondaJon ok, thanks bro I got that silver car cover that was nice 👍
Nice. Definitely a great one that will protect your car. 👊🏼
Where did you purchase the adhesive hosing strip
On eBay. Just look for auto weatherstripping. Search for D shape
@@HondaJon
Good morning Jon, I was looking to for badges to match the sport grill. Not black but the smoked look that the sport comes with. Have you found any? Thanks.
Hi. I haven’t. I personally like the black badge against the dark chrome to give it a little contrast. The oem black
Ones look sharp
@@HondaJon thanks again your so helpful. Knowing is one thing , but knowing and sharing what you know with someone is even better . I really appreciate your generosity.☺️
Of course. Anytime. That’s what’s it’s all about. 👍🏻
Donde se consigue
Honda never had these quality control problems previously. Between their oil dilution problem, their various recalls and their "frequency of repair" record as reported by "Consumer Reports", Honda quality is becoming a thing of the past.
I gained a extra 5horsepower after installing this
Naw jk lol
i dont have road noise on my Accord, but hood vibration is annoying and i don't know what to do, i will try rubber trim se if it helps. thank you for your video
