hood 04 Tacoma

[beerhiker]

Passenger side of hood is getting some up/down movement at highway speeds, is there a easy way to get it tightened up some? I took a quick look but didnt see anything obvious.
Thanks

It might just be the rubber bumper under the hood needs to be raised on that side. The rubber itself has threads cut in it and it just threads into the metal frame cross support. Screw it out a little to raise it. If this brings the hood up too far, then you might need to adjust the latch mechanism-- have not done that, so cannot help you there other than suggesting the factory manual:

Check the hinge bolts. Raising the bump stop should not bring the hood up higher than the fender. The latch would probably have the front of the hood rattling rather than the one side.

stupid easy fix, tweaked the 2 rubber bumpers, didnt notice they were adjustable first time I looked. thanks
