My hood has come loose in the front Drivers side. I did check out this thread http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=17352 But when I look between the lifted corner I don't see a hole in the hood Like the pictures. What I see is what looks like a disk flower pedal shaped. Does anyone have a pic of the bottom of the hood insert.
I am thinking that the bolt is intact and that the part that anchors to bolt to the insert is what came apart.
Thanks in advance

Just drill it, set it on rubber pads, & through bolt it with some nice shiny stainless "hood jewelery"...:_wrench:

I bought a new replacement hood insert; I still got the old one; ANYONE know where you can get a few of those hood screws/butterfly head bolts that epoxy to the inside? with a few I could reuse my old one; I have a DALLAS COWBOYS logo on one, and a REAL MADRID logo on the other; thanks!!!
