has anyone else had this happen?: anytime i get past 70mph my hood will start to slighly lift up and down right at my wiper squirters. does this have anything to do with the rubber gasket thing that is supposed to go at the very front edge of my hood if so could i pop rivet it in? the plastic things that are supposed to hold it in are too big to go in there they just crumble up

 

Ive never had any lifting with my hood. What type do you have? And you sure the 4 bolts are on good?

 

yes sir it does...

my hood is modeled directly from oem so it latches the exact same and doesnt have any lift on the freeway, but everyone else i know that is using a c/f hood it lifts...

are you using hood pins?

 

Yes this happens all the time..did it crack your windsheld..Ive seen alot that do. Most companys recomend hood pins. Yes it for that reason. Get some and youll be fine.

vis hoods have a warning label that says use hood pins.

 

do you have an underskeleton? mine used to lift also, just added hood pins and now it doesnt

 

its an oem seibon. i am not using hood pins and don't want to. it does have a underskeleton but it hasn't flipped up it is just lifting a little

 

we probably have the same hood...
you can add the little rubber stripping and it should correct any problem.

 

I have some knock off carbon fiber hood that came with my car, but it fits and latches like oem... ive never had problems of it lifting or anything tho.

 

When Im up above like 60 or 70 mine lifts up and down a LOT, I mean I can sit up in my seat and look at it bounce up and down, it looks like the hood pins are the only thing holding it down even thought it latches too. Its just a cheap $350 one I bought a while ago. Its just all the air coming in the front and trying to escape, I thought it was normal for CF hoods, cause the stock metal ones are sturdier with the metal skeleton.

 

mine doesnt lift at all, no hood pins here

 

i think it is the gasket at the front edge of the hood i am going to try to put it on and see if that fixes it

 

If you're worried about it lifting I would suggest getting some hood pins.

 

I would still get hood pins.Imo.

 

yeadude i have that same problem with my fiber image hood that i haveon my ek...it sux, it makes me hella nervous b/c my friends gumballed home, holding 90 steady, watching my hood bounc up and down...got the W tho...

 

best thing to do is get hood pins thats what im doin tomorrow.
