Leading evidence: 'engine cover' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'engine cover' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust bumpers firmed it right up without' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

It is kind of an art to get everything adjusted just right.

Adjusting the bumpers firmed it right up without changing how the latch worked or change in panel alignment.

I had to completely remove my hood latch to repair the "lift up" spring.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Is there a way to tighten the latch to pull the hood a little bit tighter? I have been trying to find an intermittent sound in my front end. Don't think the problem but I noticed if I press down on the hood Porsche emblem, there is a tiny bit of play that can create a knock.
It was apart in the fall when I had a shop fix an accident. If I can tighten, I will. Otherwise I will bring back to shop. These things expose themselves when we actually start to use.
Thanks,
David
There are two ways to tighten it up. One way is to slightly drop the hood latch down. Access the hood latch and loosen the three bolts. The holes in the body are slightly elongated and you can move the hood latch down a bit. Now the second way - open your hood and look at the rubber bumpers in the front corners of the hood. Those rubber bumpers screw in and out. Just take one by hand and screw it out or in to increase the clamp down pressure of the hood when closed. It is kind of an art to get everything adjusted just right. The hood should be just slightly below the edge of the front bumper when latched..
Now going the 1st way, it is going to open a can of worms like the cable popping out and causing me a headache? I prefer easy being lazy.
Thanks DBJoe.996
Bumpers first to verify the problem. It's the easiest. Only adjust the latch if it's not working correctly or if the panels are out of line from the bumper adjustment. In my case, it was the engine cover. Adjusting the bumpers firmed it right up without changing how the latch worked or change in panel alignment.
Only do the latch if the bumpers don't work. Screw them out by hand one turn, then test the fit, repeat as necessary. I had to completely remove my hood latch to repair the "lift up" spring. So I do know there is some adjustment. Another little tip, put a small dab of white lithium grease on the bumper, then close the hood, re-open and see if some grease is on the seat where the bumper sits. It will tell you if it is even making contact.
