Hood insert loose

[bssage]

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
Bryan

Yep...not unusual.

Remove the insert & epoxy it back on.

OR...if you prefer a more industrial grade approach...:naughty:

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

CAN SEE THE STUD SNAPPED OFF/RUSTED OFF ON THIS ONE IN THE FRONT CORNER:

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!!!
