Hood shake
 

It was really windy here today and my hood (with bug deflector) really shook, especially when meeting big trucks. Has anyone ever had a hood lift? I guess it shouldn't happen with the latches done up properly, but it was enough to make me consider different latches. The Mopar locking ones are big $. Anyone tried the neoprene ones? Other suggestions?

I did this quick, cheap and simple mod several years ago. Works great. The hood doesn't move at all now.

I bought one of the hood locks very easy to install factory holes remove front grill 4 rivits and your done 1/2 hr and no one can open your hood without the key.I bought the one that re keys to your Jeep key.:la:

I've heard if you have the bug deflector on it, it will flutter more than usual. I could be wrong.

But I've not had any issues and I do not have the bug deflector.

My jeeps hood fluttered at high speeds my fix was pull the spring by the latch. Sure the hood doesn't spring up when I release the side latches but I can live with it

I also bought the mopar hood lock that keys to your ignition key .. It stopped the hood flutter .. and I like the idea of having my hood locked ..

A couple of heavy Zip ties and done... Cheap easy fix...
Thread a tie wrap through the fastener ends and around the rubber dog bone lengthwise. Latch hood and snug up tie wrap... It will never flutter again..
