[QUOTE="bugflipper, post: 7560795, member: 621756"] It really depends on what kind of hinges they are. With the shims, if it is a 2 piece hinge like most hoods have it would be to keep the two pieces from rattling on each other. The other would be to keep the metal rattling on the pivot pin(as a bushing). Post up a pic if you can't figure them out. Odds are someone has fixed your type before. Some cars have plastic bushings that can wear out. It could also be where the hinge mounts to the body or trunk with bolts. In that case a simple cardboard gasket could be cut out of a shoebox with rtv sealant applied. Or deadener put in between the two if it will compress enough to allow the trunk not to stick up.
