hood stop adjustment on corners to prevent lifting at high speed?

[MTBGUY]

Hello all-

I found a few posts on this subject but they did not exactly address how to fix the problem I am having.

Just bought a beautiful 2005 100 series yesterday. When driving it home I noticed the drivers side leading edge of hood lifts a little at around 75mph on highway. I stopped several times along the way home (9 hour drive) to screw in/out the round hood stops on either side. I made it better, but not perfect, almost seems like the hood needs a tiny bit more downward pressure to solve the problem.

Is there a recommended procedure to fix this? The car has no previous paint/bodywork so I don't think anything is bent.

Thanks!

You can adjust the hood latch assembly lower to have the hood close lower. Adjusting the rubber stops up should create more tension to eliminate the lifting/shake.

Thanks JDM, that should solve it.

Mine still wiggles a little at high speed to this day. I pushed to pump stops up a bit but haven't tried the latch lower yet. May have to do that this weekend.

I've adjusted mine a few times and still doesn't solve the problem. I had mine down so low the grill started rubbing the bumper, but still no luck. It still wobbles at speed.

I tweaked the bump stops some more and lowered the latch today. I will find out next time its on the highway I guess!

Good info. I'll be tweaking mine. Thanks.
