I get a nice massage at red lights. at least i don"t hear the motor rocking anymore.

Ara - get one or two aluminum shims (per side) and place them in between the engine lid and the hinge. My S had the exact same fit from the factory.
Do one hinge at a time - just loosen it, the shims slip in. Make sure to mark the original location of the hinge with masking tape on two sides that are perpendicular to each other so that you can tighten the hinge in the exact same location after you have inserted the one or two shims per side. Talk to your dealer to get a few shims.
