Default Hood shaking..

I have an automatic xB and when I'm at red lights my hood shakes when I'm on the brake?

It's not jumping up and down high, but you can see it is shaking, is that normal?

Mine does this all the time. Pop it into neutral and the vibrating will stop.

In theory, we could add padding to cushion the hood, but personally, it's just easier to pop it momentarily into neutral.

In the meantime, I'll let you know if my hood falls off, and if that happens you can take more drastic action. ;)

As a side note, I believe this is the only thing in common between the xB1's and the xB2's.

Just raise the round rubber pieces at the front corners of the engine bay, almost right above the headlights. That should help.
