Hood Shimmy at Highway Speeds

[Huck]

Mine shakes. I noticed it after installed my hood mounts. Upon further investigation it wasnt the hood mounts at all that caused them. There was a lot of play in the sheet metal where the hood itself mounts to the latch arms. I could flex the front of the hood 4-6 inches before the latch ever budged.

Yep, all of my Raptors have done it and never had one blow back on me yet.

Shooter's used to things blowing in his face, not sure why his ******* are in a bunch about the hood.

Well that makes me feel a little better. I don't know of anyone else who has had 3 Raptors.

See OP, I had a hood blow in my face, all over my face. There was blow all over me! It blew so hard I shit my pants!

Ha, yeah... Both of my other ones are still here locally that I see from time to time. If you take into account another Raptor that lived with me for a while during a high-point in my life, you can say I've "had" 4. If you wanted to count another that I almost adopted, but was very close to, that would make 5. lol.

And to think that I ever sold my first one!

Yeah, but think how good you are at doing Raptor mods!

I have the same setup as you (Raptor Claws and Mid Perch) and I do get a little bit of wiggle when I'm driving. It's only really noticeable when there's a strong crosswind though.
