Thanks guys. I figured that was the correct method to fix the hood movement. How snug do you guys have the hood? Just to the point that it does not move around on the rubber stops?

As a side note, it looked to me like there are threaded inserts in the cowl so this should be pretty reinforced area for the latch plate. I am not sure if the hood latch has inserts or a backing plate. On the hood under each latch, it looks like just fiberglass. There is a hole in the fiberglass next to each latch. I tried to stuff my finger in to feel around but did not feel any reinforcement.
