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?

Before committing to glue, I would make sure the hood fits and aligns properly. I had a hood painted and found that it had been hit and the hood did not fit properly. i was able to spring it back enough to lay flat. Once you glue it, that may be difficult. There may be a reason the gap is there (as in the case of a bent hood)

I used the 3M Panel bonding adhesive for this, its really good strong stuff. It worked very well. I had the rear frame of my rear trunk not sitting down all the way when closed due to a rusted area causing the skin and the frame to separate.The PO attempted to fix with fiberglass and it did not work.
I bought it on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KSF9TC...=UTF8&psc=1 -Andrew |
