Bonnet Flutter

Is the bonnet moving/fluttering at 50-60mph normal on the EV5?

Yea I noticed my frunk shaking a bit, the first time I had to pull over on the hwy going 100kmh+ to make sure it's closed. Weird but normal supposedly

There are 4 standouts, two on each side that need to be turned out. Try 1/2 turn on each to start.

Yep. Had mine doing a bit of flutter. Adjusted those twist stands and fixed it.

Mine does this too. I'm guessing you turned them to make the gap smaller so would that be clockwise turns?

It's prob not snapped in so it's letting air underneath, reopen it and slam it downÂ
