Hood Adjustment

Does anyone know how to adjust the hood on an 01 Max so it fits snug when closed? I did adjust the two rubber stoppers near the headlights but it did not help that much and plus they do not let the hood fit flush when closed. I know I am not the only one who experiences the hood vibration at above 55mph or so. Is there a way to adjust the "latch mechanism" so it catches better. Thanks for any help.

Has nothing to do with adjustment of your hood. This is a common problem with hood construction from the factory. There's a fix for it if your car is still under warranty.

It basically has to do with the under bracing of the hood not being properly glued to the top layer of the hood.

It's in the stickies...
