AEROSKIN II hood deflector Question

Installed the Aeroskin II hood deflector about a week ago and really like the way it looks, BUT yesterday I had a long highway trip about 2 hours and noticed above 60 MPH it seems like the center of my hood is fluttering ( for lack of a better term ). Its slight and cant remember if that was happening before the deflector was installed. It sort of looks like when the hood flexes going through the air dry at the touchless car wash. I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed anything similar or if someone without the deflector can tell me if their hood slightly flutters/vibrates in the center at highway speeds.

That definitely was there before your hood deflector. I see it all the time while driving. The hood flexes quite a bit.

I thought the flutter was a common issue on the sport, not so much on the big brother... good to know.

A lot of cars have spring loaded rubber bumpers that you can adjust for things like hoods and tailgates. Maybe since adding a deflector, the clearances changed a tad and you need to make an adjustment so it's firmly seated on the standoff when latched?
