    Actually it's held on by 6 or 7 screws bonded to the underside of the insert. One of mine broke in the exact same location. I've gotten some screws to try & epoxy to the same location but haven't done so yet.

    If you pull the heat shield from under your hood, you can see where all of the screws are located at. Remember though that the windshield squirter nozzles go through both the insert & the hood so they have to be removed as well.

    BTW, 2 sided tape will NOT hold down that corner ... I tried.

    Mine also came off in the exact same spot. T4B is right; remove the heat blanket from the underside of the hood and you'll see the bolts and the windshield washers.

    I took my insert off, laid it face down on a nice soft blanket so I wouldn't scratch it and scraped off the old epoxy from where the bolt came loose. I then used some J.B. Weld to re-attach the bolt back to the underside of the insert. It's been a couple of years now and the insert is still laying down where it should.
