HOOD VIBRATION
DESCRIPTION
The hood of the vehicle may vibrate even during smooth surface driving. There are two possible causes for this symptom: insufficient adhesive between
the hood and the reinforcement, and/or misadjustment of the hood stopper rubber.
Insufficient adhesive between the hood and the reinforcement may result in fluttering at the rear portion of the hood. Misadjustment of the hood stopper
rubber may cause vibration at the forward portion of the hood.
