I am pretty proud of this fix I came up with... Bought a thick bicycle inner tube and cut it to length.Put it over the latch and fold the excess over (you want the excess)... zip tie it tight and no more noise! When you dump the bed with this on you need to hold the dump latch up when you put the bed back down or the other side will cut the rubber... works great!

This fix is still going strong... made it through a few weeks of deer hunting with no noise.

Genius! Any ideas for the doors? The driver side isn’t too bad because my leg usually rest up against it, but the passenger side is brutal.

I jb welded a thick piece of rubber to the door stopper to give me more adjustment. Basically made the stopper longer. Worked great.

That’s what I’ve been doing. When I’m using the machine for work I get in and out a bit and it wears out quick , so I’ve been looking for something more permanent. The idea of extending the stopper is solid.

Go to Walmart buy the ends for round chair legs it fixed mine for good for less than two dollars. Put them on top of the Honda stoppers.

i've been doing both on my 1k for several months now.i use a truck tube,but it wears out after a while,especially the bed and drivers door, so i just repeat the process.the chair leg pads i stuck to the body and they've not been needed to be replaced.
