2003 Hood Rattle
When I go over 60 mph in my 03 se the hood starts to rattle. It doesnt feel right, I think its hurting the aerodynamics and I think one day it is gonna fly up at my windshield. Is the currently a tsb for this? anyone else have this problem?

i have the same problem on mine, when driving at freeway speeds, u can actually see the hood vibrating... i remember hearing something about a tsb for this, and i think all nissan does is adjust the hood or something like that... aside from the vibration, everytime i close my door u can hear this annoying rattle come from the hood, im just too lazy to take it in...

There's a thread floating around on this forum where a couple of people used some liquid bonding agent and bonded the hood to the hood frame better. I'll try that next because this flapping hood is annoying. The dealer is supposed to do this, according to the TSB, but I think the dealer I went to just tried to get away with the most minimal effort.

All you have to do is turn those Rubber Hood Stoppers a bit higher and you can go 140 MPH without Vibration!

I've had the hood rattle problem with my 2k3 since day 1. I've been hesitant to take it in though because the TSB only states 2k2 so I figure the dealer will probably use that as a cop out.

Another fix is to readjust the hood lock. You can pull it down in order to hold the hood closer to the car. My hood vibrated after I got it back from the repair shop, as it was replaced, and they were able to fix it by adjusting the lock. It actually looks better aligned too. The worst the dealer can say is that they were unable to replicate, I say bring it in.
