The hood buffer is a small but important component at the front of a vehicle. It ensures that the hood rests correctly and simultaneously reduces vibrations and noise while driving.
These buffers are usually made of elastic rubber or special plastic materials and are mounted on the body or directly on the hood. They serve as a damping element between the hood and the vehicle structure and prevent direct metal-to-metal contact.
Hood buffers help keep the hood in the correct position and compensate for minor movements or vibrations of the vehicle. This prevents the hood from rattling or being damaged by driving movements.
The buffer materials are specifically designed for use in the engine compartment and must withstand temperature fluctuations, humidity and mechanical stress.
Damaged or worn hood buffers can cause the hood to no longer sit correctly or result in noise while driving. Replacing them ensures that the hood sits securely and without vibration.
At Autoteile Gossau, you'll find hood buffers in both original and high-quality aftermarket versions for numerous vehicle models. Benefit from the lowest prices in Switzerland, fast delivery, or pick up your order directly from our store in Gossau and pay conveniently by cash or card.
