Annoying hood rattle

I've done some searching and haven't really found any threads that say this is a common issues, so I'm just wondering if other people are running into the same problem. At idle, the hood rattles pretty badly, and it only takes a little pressure to shut it up. I haven't had time to let the car cool down and really take a closer look, but does anyone else have this issue and is it an obvious / easy solution..? Here's a sample of what I'm talking about....


Any input is appreciated, thanks!

I can't go outside and see my car - but - most cars have an adjustable black plastic or rubber 'bumpstop' in each front corner of the radiator support. Adjust yours 'out'.

If not - the hood latch assy should be adjustable as well - loosen and pull it 'down' and re-torque.
