Another known issue is the rear side glass coming lose. The glass has screw(s) sealed in it and it can back out causing the glass to rattle over time. This happend to my 08, dealer fixed it with new glass panel, driver side. Easy enough to check, simply tap on the glass from the exterior and see if it makes a tap noise. Noises are tough to chase down and often can be sourced to no where near the place your ears tell ya! I checked this out this morning, no luck, glass appears to be held tightly, thanks for the tip, I will just keep looking.

Adjust the screw(s) to get a tighter fit between the hood and base; might be worth a try.

I checked the engine hood and one of the stoppers was shorter than the other, so as you suggested I adjusted the short one to be the same size as the other, didn't have a chance to drive it yet, hope that was the problem, thanks for the advice
