Hood Flutter

[Cactus Jack]

Any of you experience hood flutter?
when driving at highway speeds, my hood goes slightly up and down.

Yep! If your service department is like mine they'll warranty it and replace the hood. Beware though, the one they replaced mine with also does the same thing.

i adjused the bump stops on both sides of the hood and it helped mine but I still have
a small amount of movement

New vehicles with thin aluminum hoods. It’s now considered normal.

My hood latch had to be adjusted

Yup, even thin steel hoods. My 4Runner does this enough to be somewhat unnerving.

Adjusted both rubber stops and it has helped a whole lot and its more flush with the body also. QC definitely bypassed the Broncos

Yet another, correctable QC issue. Going to have to make a list, too many to remember...

Adjust either the latch or the stops. As long as there's some tension between the two flutter should be minimal. I adjusted my stops when I got mine and haven't had any flutter since. It's slightly harder to close the hood though.

Fantastic. I did see this some time ago.

However, you missed a few more recent Raptor issues (some maybe not Raptor only).

• Stripped studs on spare carrier
• Disconnected wiring connector to front "width warning" lights
• Missing toolkit
• Disconnected air intake to turbo

You could include others from here.
