Well, aside from the fact that both times you posted it's three times the length of your post - nothing's wrong with it. I guess.
Did you try some white lithium grease? That usually works pretty well and seems to stick around for quite a while. Clean 'em up real good with carb cleaner, make sure they're dried off nicely, then get some lithium on them, see if that helps out.

Sometimes the little rubber 'snubbers' on the fenders that help hold the hood in line squeak. If greasing the pivots on the hinges & armour all'ing the snubbers don't help,,, maybe it's not your hood
