Hood Vibrates Up and Down
Has anyone noticed their hood vibrating up and down slightly when you are driving at speeds over about 40 mph??
When I look at the edge of the hood near the windshield wipers I see it vibrating up and down and it moves more if I hit a bump.
I want to know if this is normal or if there is something wrong with my hood. If everyone else sees the same thing, then it must be normal.

I've never noticed mine moving at road speeds. I did see some noticable vibration at the upper corners of the hood the last time I drove the car through a car wash that included a blower/dryer, but only when the air was aimed directly at the hood area. Other than that, nothing.
Can you get any unusual movement out of the hood if you try and shake it when it is opened, like a loose hinge or mounting point?

Yup mine vibrates starting at 90mph, i have a stock 06 enthusiast, with continental dws tires, i got it like 6 minths ago and i even haven't diven it faster than 100mph cuz im afraid of the hood just ripping apart, also the left mirror vibrates starting at 70mph
It's definitely the tires. Those tires are known for making hoods vibrate.
he revives and 8 year old thread.... the hood is thin aluminum and the middle rear area of mine moves some at frwy speeds
