Bouncy Hood at Highway Speeds

[Maharba]

Any of y'all notice your hood being really bouncy at the front while driving on the highway? Like the windspeeds catch it and cause it to constantly jostle around? I haven't had any issues yet, but trying to gauge if it's something I should pay more attention to. Next time I'm out on the highway, I'll try to remember to grab the dashcam and get some footage.

Yeah, pretty frequent. Need to adjust the bump stops in each corner to help alleviate that flutter.

Wait till you get to drive into a 50mph head wind at 65mph, you'll think it's going to fly open. At least 3/4" lift at both front corners. Was told normal for these aluminum hoods. Scared the crap out of me. Jim.

I have driven at 80mph+ and did not experience your problem.
BUT, I did notice that the bump-stops on my Bronco are not tightened down. Mine are loose. I plan to find a way to tighten them to keep them from rotating.
Anyone else seen this? Or did the factory forget a part on my Bronco that would keep them tight?
