   It turns out the hood squeak I wrote about recently was caused almost
entirely by the spring and peg fixture that provides center support for the
hood.  A shiny spot on the bottom of the peg indicated where it had been
rubbing the spring frame.  Removed it, straightened the trapezoidal slant
the spring frame had taken, greased it liberally and mounted it so the peg
was directly below the slot in the hood. This seems to have solved the
problem.  We'll see how long it holds up.
