How Do I adjust the hood Latch??

Hello,

My hood has a little rattle when I'm driving. So I went and tugged on it and it moves up and down about 1/8 on a inch making a "clunk" noise. When I'm driving I can see it bobble up and down.

How do I adjust the latch? What bolts do I need to adjust.

Lose the bolts that hold the latch to the radiator support, lower the latch down and tighten the bolts back up... Then try it out... again and again...

i believe there is the lil round rubber bumpers on the corners of the hood that turn in and out to adjust exactly that. if not then look on the rad support all cars have them i am pretty sure

Ok thanks, I'll work on that this weekend.

but the hood lines up perfect, so I dont want to use those and push the hood up too high and make it not line up properly.
However I will try it first and see if it does the trick, since its the simplest option.
