Yup. Thanks, Ulix. The two rubber "feet" that come from the
underside of the leading edge of the hood, are adjustable.
Just moving them down a couple turns got rid of 80% of my
spurious noises. Thaanks again!
BTW, there are no lock nuts on those adjusting threads.
Are they likely to vibrate back? Maybe some locktite?
BTW, BTW ... now another strange noise becomes audible.
Around 60-70mph, a high-pitched whistle. I tried moving my
hand around the edges of the windscreen, wing windows,
visors, etc, with no apparent changes. Ideas?
