You will probably need to make some adjustments of the hood latch, last thing you want is for the hood to fly back when you're on the highway.

Is it an OEM hood? Have you checked the spring on the mechanism bolted to the frame? Does the hood shut normally when the car is parked?

LOL noticed that it unlocked on the highway actually ,when it started shaking

yeah hood shuts normally, checked the spring and it works fine. ito nly releases to the point of unlocking, like when you pull the hood latch inside teh car? but the actual lock stays in place.

As RR suggested, I would check that, cause it sounds like the spring/latch is weak if it is unlatching at highway speed.
