I have a 2020 MS LR+. I have been trouble shooting various rattles and vibrations since I got the car. I was FINALLY able to get the service center to replace two of the tires since they were horribly out of round and could not be balanced at the SC or an independent shop. There is still some high speed vibration (70+ mph) and I am concerned it might be related to the hood.
When I first got the car one of the adjustment screws on the underside of the hood was screwed out all the way. The other 3 contact points were not touching. I adjusted the opposite side screw (the one in the front) down so that it made contact and I felt that this made the vibration a little better.
In this position I am noticing that with hard acceleration there is more audible wind noise and vibration from air flow and turbulence.
I tried adjusting all four points to have contact and that seemed to make it worse.
So, I guess the question is... what is the correct way to adjust these four contact points under the front hood? Are these just designed to shim the hood into the right cosmetic position or is there a stabilizing effect?
I have searched all over the forum and youtube. I have found a lot of discussion of the rear lift gate adjustment, but very little about the front hood.
Any insight would be much appreciateed.
