    t4b, I had the same problem a while ago. Just take the insert off of the hood, lay it face down on a nice soft surface (so you don't scratch it), remove the old "glue" from where the stud has pulled away, and re-glue the stud back down. I used JB Weld on mine and they haven't moved in over two years.

    Pretty much as I had planned ... BUT ... the stud is broken. I need to find a replacement & it's not a very common part. I plan on stopping by Fastenal (SP?) soon to see what they offer.
