I noticed that my hood tended to shake a bit on rough roads at speed or with a significant headwind. I adjusted the two insidemost hood bumpers (there are 4 adjustable bumpers) and it really helped to stabilize the hood movement. Easy to tell if yours are adjusted correctly or not - just look at the contact spot for the bumpers on the inside of the hood and there should be a mark just like the outside bumpers contact marks....if no marks the bumpers are not making contact and need to be turned (counter clockwise) until they contact the hood. Mine took about 1 1/2 turns to adjust and the hood shaking is mostly gone now and when I close the hood it sounds/feels much more solid.

Good Luck
