Hey Everyone.

I have an 08 GT and I was driving home today and sort of noticed my hood my or may not have been rattling a bit when I was doing around 80. I don't know if it actually was or if it was in my head. But when I got home I tried to lift the hood while it was locked to see if it would give any play and it seems that it does move a little bit on the driver's side more than the passenger side when I lift it.

Is this normal?

TIA

 

Yep, the stock hoods on these cars seem to move around quite a bit at higher speeds. It gives us a good excuse to buy hood pins

 

Ah that blows. So there's no sense in taking it to the dealer then huh? I just don't want this thing flipping up on me!

 

try adjusting the bumper stops first,then get hood pins if it does no good

 

The bump stops are adjustable on these cars. Just unscrew them each 1 turn and see if that helps. It will probably be a little bit harder to close the hood, but that is fine and means they are tight.
