03 se hood vibration

anyone with visible hood vibrations when driving though rougher surfaces? The dealer took care of the thumping problem related to the hood latch. Now the noise is gone but I can still see the bood vibrating like there's some attaching parts loose and the wind can catch under the hood on the highway or something. Body wise it's fine, no accidents and I played with the height of rubber cushioners. It's hard to lower the latch more without taking the front grill off and it seems like I'd need to detach the front bumper to get to it. suggestions appreciated.

My hood vibrates some at highway speed and above also. I don't know why it does, but I'm not too worried about it. I think it may be normal.

You can't get rid of this. You can minimize it, but i had the dealer do the WHOLE TSB for this and still it vibrates.

Both my 2k2 and my 2k3 do this even after the dealer installing and filling all this crap under the hood..

I live with it, an di hop some da the hood falls off, so i can sue Nissan for crappy engineering.

The only thing I did was adjust those rubber thingies up. It didn't get rid of it completely, but not as bad as it was.
