I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem but it is annoying the hell out of me. Everytime I get up to highway speed my hood starts to shake and move from the head wind. I don't know what to do to get the hood to stop doing it. It is especially prone to do it at the corners of the hood where the headlight are. Is there a way to ratchet the hood down closer to the latch so there isn't hardly any gap there? If anyone has a solution to this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

 

Stock or fiberglass hood? If steel or stock there are the two rubber topped adjustable snubbers that you can bring up to take the play out of it.

 

Yeah, it is a stock hood. I have seen those two rubber stoppers so I will try to fiddle with those and see if they bring the play out of the corners of the hood. Hopefully they will.

 

Just unscrew them a little at a time untill the hood feels snug against them.

 

Mine does it between 120 and 130 pretty bad so i rigged up a piece of high strength aircraft cable around the latch and striker for extra insurance just in case

 

Damn, 120-130! By the way my hood flaps, it would lift off at those speeds, or fold into a V-shape while still attached at the latch

 

I had my Mustang hood blow up and fold over the windshield at 70MPH. To this day, that was the scariest moment in driving for me.

 

I did it in a T/A at 140 one time and i have hood Pinned everything to this day and there are a set sitting on my desk for the truck
