My hood is floppy above 70mph. Is this just "nature of the beast", or does something need adjusting? Static, it seems very secure with no real play in it.

Man it sucks you guys are having these "hood" issues. I disagree, it is not a nature of the beast as both our Mazdas' hoods are secure even at high speeds of 85-90 mph. But hey, maybe its an excuse to get a carbon fiber hood lol.
I'd take it to the dealer.

I don't really see what could be fixed, and don't view it as an issue. It's just different I guess.

Wow, somebody here needs to learn how to use the search function of this forum. This has been an ongoing problem with CX-5s since day one and has been talked to death here. Here is the TSB dealing with it: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-sY4-KaDJV-RU1LNnJJVEEzTTA/edit?pli=1
Don't let the production dates throw you, it is a problem that continues to plague the CX-5 to this day!

The hood on my RX-7 used to rattle at speed. I put a couple little rubber stoppers in and the rattle/lift is gone. 
Find a spot under the leading edge of the hood to put a couple rubber spacers in. When the hood closes on them and compresses the rubber, the hood won't rattle anymore.
Or you can take your chances at the dealer

My whole hood vibrates. Even on bumps at 20mph sometimes. I didn't think it was the same issue because even the very corner near the left of the windshield and right, will shake. I also pressed on the hood in the area the TSB outlines, and the (very easily) flexible hood only flexed in small sections, so I think the sealant is in tact. Regardless, it won't fly off. It doesn't harm visibility. I'm motoring on and not worrying with it anymore.

Sky active equates to tin foil body panels.

Not necessary true. You only need stronger but thinner high-tensile steel body panels surrounding the cabin to protect passengers. Hood will always be weak to absorb the energy during the frontal collision.

I'm just wondering if my issue is the same as previous. The whole hood shakes. It looks like it's shaking. Not flexing. But I'll take it in anyways. We have a good dealer here and free is free so why not?
I wonder if a hood support like this would stop the hood shakes?

I don't know, but it's not that big of a deal. I just noticed it and found it different so I posted. I was unaware that it was "an issue" with these vehicles. I can certainly ignore it.
