At any speeds x>50mph you can see the hood bouncing consistantly, its scary when you think that the thing could fly open. Has anyone expierienced this? And or is there a solution to stiffen the hood so it dosent have so much movement while driving around.
TIA

My hood started to do the same thing lately. something is loose I believe. When I first noticed it, I pulled over from the highway because I thought I had left the hood open. Scary stuff

When I had my OEM hood, I had the same problem. There is a TSB for it:

Basically, go to the dealership or call up Dave B about the parts. You should get two rubber strips, one for each headlight and a rubber stopper. I didn't do the hood insulator part, but you can do that as well. They definitely helped the vibration on my hood.

There is a TSB for this...can't recall the number, but it essentially gets you some rubber barriers that tape over the headlights and a rubber bumper for the hood. It helped mine a little.

There 2 blk ***** on either side just twist them up or down to stop the hood movement

look at the newbie with the correct answer

also, weather stripping where the hood meets the headlights helps a lot.

this has been discussed before and it seems some people also have play on the hood latch. i wrapped some thick tape around it and it has helped the problem alot.

i did the exact same thing.. so we should twist the **** up to stop the hood from moving?

there's a limit to how much you can tweak that rubber stopper, because it won't line up on the sides. . Mine i had to do a balance, because where the stoppers would completely eliminate the bounce, it looked like my hood was popped. . .

I have this issue and wondered for awhile but was too lazy to fix. Maybe I will now. I played with the **** (not mine but the one for the hood ) and that didn't work.

edit TSB is for 01-02? Thats dumb.
