Does anyone notice when you are driving on the highway, the hood seems to go up and down? It's not much maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch movement when the air is hitting the hood? Is it me or is this normal?

Thanks

there are two rubber stops on the body one on the left one on the right unscrew each a half a turn and then close the hood see if this fixes the problem if not try a nother half a turn keep going till the movement stops dont unscrew to much because it will make it hard to pull the hood release handle in the E

Thanks[/quote:0d12aa0123] It's not you, I have noticed the same thing happening with my Element. I thought I was seeing things since my passenger didn't notice it so it was good to see your post.

Mine hood does the same thing and I was concerned as well but kindof ignored it until now. Now I know it it seems to be normal. I will check if the rubber stoppers can be adjusted.
