    I agree...a two part Epoxy is the best remedy for that little fix.

    This may be way too "industrial" looking for most & so far it's just a random thought. What does anyone think of removing the stock fastening posts on the insert, drilling through some or all of the former post positions & refastening with stainless cap screws w/ washers through the orig. mounting holes in the hood? You could even incorporate a couple of hood pins.
    It would make insert removal for drainhole cleaning way easier.

    Inquiring minds wanna know. Ldub

    Probably because it took only 5 minutes to fix it with the two part epoxy and a little sand paper... But, good idea if you have the time.

    I had the same problem a while back and used Gorilla Glue. I took it off for a day. Haven't had the problem again. it's been almost a year since it happened.
