Hood wobbles at speed
A few months back my headlights were stolen (surprise). Same with a friend who parks his Max in the same lot. We had or cars repaired by different shops. Both shops did a great job, you'd never know the lights had been stolen, or that the fenders and hood had been damaged in the process.
Once you get over 60 MPH, the hood seems to bulge upwards slightly and wobbles with every bump. It did not do this before the body work was done. Same condition on both cars. Body shop says they can not be adjusted any more.
Does anyone know of a process to fix this that I can do at home? Also, opinion, what is the liklihood of it popping open while driving?

I'll find the TSB and buy the parts.

Thats pretty funny because i told my dealer about it from day one to but at 1st the said it was my "After Injen Intake" go figure! So I said ok... Took it off and put the stock air box and guess what still did it.. So they said it was the hood lach.. Wrong again!! Still does it... The tech said well ur going to have a little bounce to it... My Azz it will... I didn't pay 30 g's to watch my hood bounce every morning going to work.. I would love it to fly up one day to sue the living sh*t out of the dealership that keeps saying "Well that normal"... Then Nissan puts these crappy Bridgestone tires on our car's btw the 04's have Goodyr's on them.. I was coming home from work yesterday and couldn't even use my cruise control because the freaking car would hydroplane and kick the cruise off every 2 min. Ok i'm done venting now.. Other then that "I LUV MY CAR"
