Hood adjustment

[moosc]

my 2005 Av when you get close the hood it doesnt seem latched very tight i can push down on the hood when closed. i could play drums of such if adjust the hood bumpwrs then my bounce goes away but hood edjes look like bat wings and thats just a temp fix the adjustments never stay in spot they are always backing down should there be a second nut to top the adkustments from backing out

My 04 has the same issue. I can actually see if moving while at high speeds (as well as the gas gauge  )

Should I just adjust the stop blocks? Or take a close look at the latch?

I had this issue on my 05 as well.  Discovered it while driving back from the SNGTG in AL.  Luckily I was caAVaning with JBC, when we stopped for fuel we (ok, John) adjusted the stops and pulled out some "Locktight" from his mod kit to keep them from moving again. 20k miles later never an issue.
