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?

Brent buddy,
You need to think this out. The heat of a day could make a big panel expand and if glued it may get a waive in the metal. I remember the space in there. I have done a few hoods in my time. Ck with more guys before you jump. You may be right but you may be wrong. See what George says or Eric Best, Bob B |

See what George says or Eric Best, Bob B I agree with Bob, after reading his post, I would leave it alone. I did a close inspection of mine, looks like 45 years of temperature change, gravity, and stresses. Kind of like me! Here are a few shots, of mine, just reference.     |
