Re: hood wobbles.........
Do you have the rubber pieces in between the hood skin and the braces underneath?

Re: hood wobbles.........
There should be some foam pads under the bracing. You can buy replacements for cheap.That should fix the problem. Jim

Re: hood wobbles.........
Even with the foam inserts mine still wobbled. Finally made a simple brace that stiffened it up.

Re: hood wobbles.........
I went to the auto parts aisle at Home Depot and bought a 1/2" x 1/2" x 36" square steel tube. Squirted some satin black paint on it, and used 3M double-sided tape for mounting chrome trim to stick it under the hood's center ridge.
Took 90% of the hood's flex away, and nobody notices it there. |
