Hood Vibrating Fix! (Weather Stripping / Rubber Trim Seal)

[Trash Hauler]

Iqudayo’s idea to use the weather stripping was exactly what I was looking for to remedy my hood shakes. I knew it needed some type of bracing and this was a cheap fix.
Then SnowmanJPS said weather stripping reduced the hood shakes by 75%.
Well I wanted 100% of the shakes gone. Unfortunately I didn’t accomplish that but I came pretty damn close. I’d say 95-98%. I went to Lowe’s and bought some 1/4” clear vinyl tubing for about $10. I inserted that inside the rubber weather stripping tube with the help of some WD40. I’ve noticed one area that still has some flex but other than that the shakes are gone for $20.

Nice, I see you went one step further... I did just the center with the same regular stripping and that stopped most of the hood shake I was experiencing... I see you added some vinyl tubing inside the stripping... Might add more to each side as I only covered the center section between the window washer sprayers.
