Drove my car for the first time in a week or so (we're snowed in here) and I noticed that if I watch the hood I can see it trembling and shaking. Doesn't seem to get worse at highway speeds but it doesn't stop trembling or shaking either. It doesn't make a noise but just lookin' at it makes me think it's gonna fly off. Don't know if it's always been like that but in my other cars the hood doesn't move a bit, never seen this before

Is this normal for the stock GT hoods and I'm just being a worrisome-nancy or should I get this checked out?

 

welcome to the S197 CLUB, normal!![:@]

 

you think thats bad, get a fiber glass hood.....damn thing looks like its about to fly off at 60+

 

Normal. [>:]

 

Haha cool. I can't decide if I'm happy, on the one hand there's nothing wrong with my car, on the other hand it means shaking hoods are normal. Oh whatever, this is still better than German cars costing a fortune to run and overheating all the time (mine at least).

 

Try adjusting the bumpers that the closed hood lies on. You can only go up so far or the hood will be higher than the fender when it is closed. If the closed hood is flush now, before you do anything, then it is just the "shaker" nature of our hoods. You could get pins.

 

I think it smooths out around 145 mph ...

 

Mine doesn't shake at all until 120, and then just barely. Stock hood. [/align]

 

Can you say HOOD PINS!

 

my doesn't shake... must be lucky
