i'm not quite sure how to explain this, but my hood rattles when i hit bumps. i can physically see it move up and down about an inch or so. The latches rattle very loudly when this happens. I'm not sure where to start, i see that the latches aren't adjustable, and neither is the hood catch. Maybe i'm wrong? If pics are required, just say so.

I did shake the the hood around, and it seems to be loose towards the top by the wiper arms. The hinges are what's causing the problem, i think. I just got to work now, so i'll try and remember to take some pics tonight. |

Check and make sure all the bolts up there are tight - and that the bolts are actually THERE.

no, i think he means the two bolts that hold the hood to the hood hinges on each side.
