CPP Tilt Hood 55 question

Has anybody had any issues while they were driving where the CPP Tilt Front hood for their 55 has lifted up while they were driving? Not all the way but it came up out of the track and raised to the first level without coming all the way up. Do you all have it secured somehow? Now, I coulda been driving somewhat fast, not really maybe about 80-85.

I kept my latch on my 55 also to ensure the hood stayed in place; I've had mine over 85mph with no issues.

If you don't have a latch the front lifts an inch or two - I had no latches or anything when I installed mine (missing on my truck plus the mount holes had been welded in) and then added a firewall bear claw for hood locking. I noticed the front does lift a little occassionally on the motorway.
