Hi All,

Does the bonnet latch have any sort of adjustment? Or maybe the rubber stoppers?
Mine (bonnet) seems to vibrate when the car is idling when the compressor kicks in from the A/C.

It's like the bonnet is not quite flush with the top of the grille.

Please let me know your thoughts.

2 rubber stoppers on each side.

Cheers mate.

Turns out not to be the bonnet rubbers that needed adjustment.
I have placed a small strip of cloth tape around the bonnet latch, now when closed there is no more "bonnet movement" / vibrations.

Thanks for your help.

You can achieve the same thing by turning the rubber stoppers anticlockwise. It causes the bonnet to push away at the latch, making it tighter.

As aaron and i said, but didn't get to it quick enough.
