Default Random one this - wobbly bonnet

I know it sounds daft, but at 'higher speed' the bonnet seems to move a little. It's like the air's getting under and making it move about. The catch looks ok and it's been cleaned out and lubed. So do the bonnet catches wear out of Subarus? It's a classic 2000 turbo. Just don't want the bonnet slamming against the windscreen (I also have a 172 Clio that was recalled by Renault two years ago when some had their bonnets flying open).

You can adjust the rubber bump stop height by turning them by hand.
