Slight "Hood Flap"

I noticed this mornin driving to school that the front corner (I noticed it on the drivers side...didn't happen to look over to see if the passenger side was doing it too) of my hood seems to 'flap' a little bit, I was thinkin that with the hood being so huge that it might be normal, is this the case?

If not, has anyone else had this problem? and how do i got about fixing it?

You can either adjust the latch to hold the hood further down, or adjust the corner stop bumpers a little higher to control the corners better.

Put on some new hood cushions, the little rubber pieces that screw onto the inside edge of the hood where it rests against the inner federwells, then readjust your hood latch...
