2018 TLX hood vibrating

Check your tire pressure, when the tires are COLD!
If they're not in sync; (same pressure in each tire), it could cause a problem
This past weekend, I was in CC at 75MPH, & reached 90MPH, with zero problems
BTW: my tires are 35PSI/COLD

If so, most cars have rubber stoppers around the headlights that the hood rests on when fully closed. Rotating these will lower or raise the stopper depending on the direction you twist the them. I'd adjust those up as long as it's not messing with your panel gaps.
If that doesn't work, I'd have the dealer adjust the hood.

I see my vibrate as well. It happens at highway speeds and high winds. I think it's due to the new shape. Vibration is noticeable at the edge close to the windshield. I'm sure dealer will say it's normal behaviour. Lol.

I've only noticed it with high winds (20+mph) and even then the couple of times it happened it was on a 2 mile long bridge. Any other time there's nothing noticeable.

One way of addressing the hood vibration is to rigidify the cowl seal - see pic. You make a small incision in the middle of the seal, and insert appropriate diameter plastic tubing inside (about 2ft). You my spray some silicone to facilitate this. This rigidifies the seal and provides proper support for the hood.

Hood vibrating
Did anyone get a fix from the dealer for this? My hood does the same. Anyone with this issue should call Honda customer care. If we all do it they will see it's a real problem and may offer a fix or a settlement

My hood flutters as well. Sketchy shit. I find myself always popping hood and making sure ots latched as tight as possible. Doesn't help. I see the DIY option but I want the dealership accountable for the fix. Has anyone had success with dealer fix?

i had my hood replaced for this exact issue. the stamping of the hood was off so caused the latch to be off-centered when the hood closes. replacing the hood fixed the issue for me.
big design flaw with how they made the front end/hood. why do you think the 21+ models have a left & right hood latch? they knew they fucked up.
