Default 99LS400-hood jiggles when driving on hwy

I was driving 99 LS400 to work this morning and noticed that part of the hood shakes/jiggles around when I was on the freeway. Not the entire hood was shaking, only where the wiper fluid squirters are. Is this normal or am I being paranoid?

99 LS400 owners, you're response is greatly appreciated!

Are you sure the shop fixed your car correctly? I had my accident and my hood is fine to me. I would take it back to the shop if I were you.

Not suppose to shake, tell Ethan or your dad to bring it back to the shop. See if they put all the rubber gasket along the rear where the hood meets the vent intakes near the wipers. Also there are adjustable hood screws that might need more adjusting.

Well, when you adjusted the screws in which direction did you go?
When you adjust the screws you have to make them looser not tighter so they stick out more and make contact when you close the hood. It may not sound/ make sense to you trust me it does.

Sounds like a problem. We'll be taking it back to the shop.

Thanks for the responses, SharpLS and Celsior
