1) Tighten the hinge attachment bolts. 2) Check if the rubber hood bumpers (2 per side attached to a slot in the fender) are still in place. These are compressed by the hood when it is closed and keep it from vibrating. 3) You can adjust the one plastic rear and 2 front hood bumpers (they corkscrew into the metal of the hood (rear) or radiator support (front)). This should solve the problem. Lon
