Doing a bit of rehab on my front trunk lid in preparation for paint. One side of the A-frame member is stuck tight to the skin but the other side has lifted off about 3/32". I want to glue the lifted side down but don't know what adhesive would work best. 3M Panel Bonding Adhesive looks like it would be the ultimate but kind of expensive and probably overkill for this application. Any suggestions?

I would think any kind of "2 part" epoxy glue should work fine.

I never knew they were bonded there. Thanks. Makes it easier to paint prep if you can seal off that region.

I just noticed a little gap under one of the frame members where it is tight to the skin on the other. Figured it would be a good idea to stick the one side down to close the gap so everything is symmetrical and sound. |
