Hood Scoop Flutter/Rattle

[brogibear]

Hey all, new tacoma owner checking in. Have been a fan for a while, but got finally stable enough to drop money on a new truck! I love the truck and was planning to get a 3rd gen, but opted for a 4th instead, i love driving it every chance i get!

Although the truck is badass, like everything else in the world it's not perfect which is why mods exists LOL on that note, has anyone effectively mitigated the hood scoop flutter at highway speed? i read that its been an issue going back generations on the truck, and read people adding weather seal strips to the firewall area to minimize at the least(?).. however i haven't found any pics of this. Has anyone found a fix ? and pics? I don't see this as a big deal, more like a nice to have "fix"

Along these lines, has anyone had the problem of the actual hood scoop popping up in the front? I will take a video and post but when going through a car wash and I get to the blowers at the end the front of the hood scoop pops up about an inch until I exit the wind tunnel.

Mine was coming off on the right corner closest to the windshield (when sitting in the drivers seat). Scheduled an appointment and apparently a clip was broken; on my 3k mile truck
