Hood Vibration
Hi, I noticed my hoods vibrate when i reach freeway speeds....any one else notice this...
any cure for this - i understand it may need some adjustment and dealer wants to charge abt 1.5hrs labor for it...
best - Noela

A minor adjustment to the hood stops helps tremondously although it will be just slightly unaligned, that is what most dealers do anyways. I think that problem was just an 02/03 issue my old 01 did'nt have that issue.

Is it easy to see where the welds broke when you take the insulation off? I was afraid of doing this tsb because I do not want to affect now the hood bends if it were to get into an accident (although having it not properly welded may not be a good thing either) if I were to apply the liquid glue incorrectly.

Using a spatula/tongue depressor/putty knife
Broken weld
Also, nobody has mentioned the headlamp packs they put in... basically a piece of rubber gasket installed on top of the headlight housing that changes the direction of the airflow.

After having it "fixed" @ purchase, I've just gotten used to it. So long as the locking mechanism keeps it in place, I'll just accept it as one of this car's quirks.
Does anyone know if this problem affects the A33 I30/I35?
