Hi all. This board has been extremely helpful for me with my last Lexus repair. Here's the deal now. I had a front end collision 3 years ago. After the repairs, all was well for about 2 years. I decided to put a front end bra on the car and for awhile the hood would need about 4-5 attempts to close. A little bit later it took 30-50 attempts to get it to close. I would close the hood and it would it push right back up. The hood lock just wouldn't do any locking without so many attempts. I changed the hood lock and even did a little manipulation w/ the radiator support. The hood still needs many attempts to close (I only open it when absolutely necessary). Here's the problem. On the highway, I can see the hood going up and down very slightly. The hood is locked closed but it is almost like there is extra (Slack) as the hood has these slight movements. Obviously the faster I go and the wind conditions has an affect on my dancing hood. How do i keep the hood from dancing? Thanks.
