I threaded the vacuum hose through the rear hood seal on my old 2004 and it fixed the shake. That should be all you need to do.

Took mine in under warranty and handed them that TSB. They just blamed it on the bug shield and refused to do it.

Just lived with it since.

Try adjusting the latch like I said a long time ago. Also make sure the rubber bumpers are at the correct height.
