Hood popped loose from frame structure

[waiter]

The back of the my hood was pressed down and it had separated from the frame structure. It looks like maybe someone had climbed on the hood.

I cut a small piece of wood about 12 inches long, I braced one end against the back of the hood and frame and the other end rested on the engine valve cover. I slowly closed the hood on the piece of wood until it popped back into its good condition.

I opened the hood again and squirted this glue all along the hood frame where it contacts the hood. I again put my piece of wood in there and lowered the hood against the block of wood to press the frame against the hood. Left it like this for 24 hours to allow the adhesive to cure.

Looks great, and the frame is secured to the hood.

This Adhesive was suggested by the Auto supply house. They supply paint and body supplies to auto body shops, so they know what works.

Care to share which 3M product it was?

[waiter]

It wasn't 3m brand - it was a store brand (sorry, I wrote the first post from memory, and you know how that goes)
