I will start body work on my hoods soon and wonder what is the best way to address this issue.
The sub structure to hood panel bonds, on both of my cars front hoods, have visibly degraded. Rear hoods are not bad. The one shown has a lot of flex and has lost 80% of the bond. There are some small dents I need to work out then I figure I should rebond the sub structure before final prep for paint. I am thinking, let it cure with a good rubber seal and the hood shut to take any rack out. Too rigid a bond and I would be concerned about a mark off on the top, to soft and it will flex and not hold up... Any suggestions on bonding agent or proven method? Attached image(s)

Any suggestions on bonding agent or proven method? Sorry but I don't have any advice on the repair. It seems there are a lot of hoods available. People who part out cars have an abundance of them. For some reason, they are not big sellers. Think about a replacement. |
