Hood Vibration

[cklwilliam]

Hey guys

I was driving on the highway yesterday, I notice my hood was starting to shake and vibrate when I go around 120 or faster. It was kind of scary, felt like it's about to fly off any second.
So I drove home at a constant speed of 100km, got home and checked the bolts, and tried to move the hood around see if it was shifting or anything but it seems fine and tight.

is this normal or am I the only one who is experiencing this ?

try adjusting the rubber stops on each side and see if that helps.

make sure the hood is closed all the way? please don't be one of those "I baby my car" pussies that gently put their hood down, then press down on it to lock it in place! this is something for carbon fiber hoods only... with a metal hood, you can easily leave two big dents on the hood... closing a metal hood should be dropping it from 6-12" (or higher if the hood is aluminum, such as the ones on miatas).... I'm not accusing you of closing your hood the "wrong way" of course ;)
