Plasticky rattling sound from bonnet

Hello everyone.

Does anyone have any idea where is this sound coming from and how do I get rid of it?


Thanks in advance.

I had a similar noise, just not nearly as loud (or the mic makes it sound loud, idk) and it was the hood rod (thing that holds the hood up) make sure it's clipped in.

You might want to check the serpentine belt. It may be coming apart.

It does sound loud when standing beside the car.

Ah, I'm pretty certain it's not that rod. My rod is on the left side of the car and the sound (in that video) is taken from the right side of the car. And yes it's clipped in.

I'm not sure if my parts are mirrored or something? My fit is a right hand drive. (Yes, it's JDM.)

Here's a still from my other video

Hello, may I know what it means by coming apart?

Do I have to take it apart to check it or can I check it when the engine is off or idling?

Thanks!

You can watch the belt while the engine is idling to see if it is torn or splitting. Look at it at the alternator pulley or air conditioner pulley while engine is idling.
