Kent, are you sure it's the prop rod that is making noise ?  With that big
rubber clip, it's not likely to resonate much.  However, the lift rod at the
front has a habit of squeaking very loudly when the bonnet vibrates.  One of our
local club members actually modified his bracket so the rod runs in nylon to
stop the squeak.  I've found that I can usually fix it with a combination of
silicone spray, and tightening the hood buffers so they put keep a bit of
tension on the hood.
