DIY Hood Flutter Fix

The better fix

 

Thanks! Now I feel like a "DA" for asking but now I know!

 

Mine still flutters some after dealer fix.

My next stop after some nvh:

though, I've already got all of that stuff on-hand except the heatguard. So it won't be a huge additional outlay of cash.

 

Hate to bump an old thread but the flutter has always bothered me. I had a 96 back in the day that did the same thing so I thought maybe it was a toyota thing. But I remember some conversation around the hood separating from the braces and sure enough, more of mine are separated than are connected. The flutter doesn't bother me so much but the notion that it isn't bonded to the bracing makes me wonder about stress fatigue/cracking over time.

Anyone had any luck with a fix from this? Will dealers fix this under warranty? I've had this for less than 2 years and only have 15k miles.

It really is a shitty design. How many of you have this type of separation? I have a 19.

 

My 2021 broke boy SR has quite a wiggle on the hood at highway speeds. I’ve learned to ignore it but I wouldn’t mind a quick fix.
