The hood just bounces a bit. The straps hold it closed, so far. I have the hood liner and only get hood lift on real windy days when passing a semi. On my wife's JK without the hood liner the damn thing is always bouncing. It's visually disturbing more than anything.

that brings up another question:

why do some have the hood liner and some do not? mine doesn't have one.

I'm guessing it's the same reason some have a under hood light and foot well lighting, but I don't. I guess Jeep dropped and/or added things as they went along during production.

Has anybody yet tried the old school musclecar hood pins and clips in attempt to fix the problem?

Hmm.... got a 500km trip in a few days. Maybe it's time to 'circumsize' the hood spring

for the hose trick would Gorilla glue be ok or would it ruin the OE stripping.

I used the Daystar Hood Wranglers on my 08 JK. I was having severe hood lift, but after I installed these new poly straps and now I have zero hood movement! Not a bad mod for $25 from www.quadratec.com.
