Bonnet movement

[-Alex-]

Forgot to ask about 2 weeks ago I was going down the M1 at 70, and the bonnet had abit of movement, when accelerating to 80ish the bonnet would seem to be moving about 1" up and down, is this normal? Got abit nervous after the stories of bonnets flying up :)

Didn't think it was at all tbh!
What would I look for on the bonnet catch? I have checked it all before for rust, and made sure it was well oiled. But other than that it appears to be fine.

when you shut the bonnet, and it clips into the catch, can you lift the bonnet..an inch like you said happened when you went down the motorway./.

I can move it abit, not alot like. Probably wasn't an inch but it appeared to be when I was touching cloth :P
Think I might have to check all bolts over the weekend, ensure they are all tight.

all can do buddy, good luck!
