Hood problems

ok..92z...when cruisin down the road i can see the hood on the left hand side raising up,and the hood buffeting from the wind a touch. I adjusted the bumper stop but it still does this. If the hood supports are shot..which they are..will this cause the problem? or am i looking at something else..thanks.

sounds to me like the hood may be separating from the crossbracing, i would lift the hood and see if its not coming loose. other than that, i would check the hinges, are they still tight? if they have worked loose this would also cause a problem...i dunno, good luck though

Check the rubber adjustment stoppers on either side of the header panel at the front. They may be out of adjustment causing the hood to lift and move around.
