Sorry for the delayed update on this. My T4R was in the shop for nearly 2 weeks and they suddenly declared it fixed after replacing a rear spring, which they indicated was the source based on chassis ears.
I drove it home and it squeaked like normal, no change so I’m not sure what noise the rear spring was supposedly making.
Long story short, a couple of posters above nailed it, it was the hood bumpers. 3 turns and it’s been totally quiet ever since.
Sincere thanks for the input, I was pretty disappointed when it wasn’t fixed!
