Default Hood Vibration Solution

Is it just my XB, or does everybody else's hood vibrates while at highway speed? It makes me nervous because it looks like the hood may just pop off it's latch and smash into the windshield, just like in the movies.

Is there airflow coming up from underneath the car that causes this :?:

This has been discussed before. The fix is to unscrew the little rubber bumpers under and at the front end of the hood so they make better contact with the hood.
