Hood Rattle, normal??

I was washing my new G35XS for the first time ... while washing the hood I noticed a rattle, if I pushed on the hood it would move almost like the hood latch needed to be adjusted. Hope this is not normal ...?

Back the rubber stops out on either side of the hood about 1 turn.

Yup had the same problem. It was the rubber stoppers at the front corners of the hood.
