Hood "buffeting" under fast driving conditions/high winds
Both sides of my hood seem to buffet (move/flap) under high speed conditions and I think it's because my hood is not latching down all the way. (I have about a 1/2 inch gap between my Euro lamps and the lip of my hood).
What could be the culprit here? The hood latch? Hood stops on either side? Is there a way to adjust the hood latch to allow the hood to close more securely, or would I need to replace it? Thanks for any insight, as always! Iodyn -- '91 300E |

Had similar problem. In my case it seems the adjustable (Hood stops?) on both sides were not extended out far enough. No marks from contact in evidence. I extended them just enough to make contact when the hood was closed -- end of my problem. Might work for you.
