Default Hood latch loose?

Has anyone noticed when there hoods closed, If you press firmly on it, the latch is somewhat loose?

Even though my hoods closed completely when I press on it firmly on it, it does'nt feel like its locked in place properly. I dunno how to explain it but it does move when its pressed down.

Mine was the same way when I got mine, I just unscrewed the rubber stoppers to provide some more tension against the hood corners. But not to much though.
Do you now which adjusters I am talking about?

yes, I know what your talking about.

But the vibration got worse because of my torque damper.

Theres so many flaws with this car

You got me there, I guess its a catch22, if you tighten the latch down then the alignment could be off on the body lines. Does the dealer have anything to say about it.

Have'nt told them about it. I'd prefer not to take it in for little things like that, just wondering if anyone had a quick fix on here for it
