Default 2007 GT Hood...

Guys, unfortunately I had a little accident with my 'Stang going about 10 mph, but I hit a guy in a Dodge diesel so it ruined my front end and the hood. The body shop I sent it to usually does a really good job, but now I am skeptical.

I got in it this morning for the first time since the accident and got on the hwy to come to work, going about 75 mph. I noticed that my hood was vibrating / shimmying and it was not caused by the natural road imperfections. It was like the wind was doing the work.

I get out when I get to work, go to the front, and I can actually lift my hood up about 3/4 to a full inch even while it is latched. That does not seem right to me.

Am I being paranoid or is something probably screwed up with the latching mechanism? I just have never noticed the movement of the hood before at those speeds...
