Giving the car some beans last night over 100mph.The bonnet started to lift alot.
Lifting the bonnet up and looking underneath at the fixing bolts they are loose in the bonnet rivnut which is in the reinforcement bulge.
You can lift the bonnet with your hand and see movement around the rivnut.
How do you make this more secure?
Are all our cars like this?
Can i buy a bulge (don't know what there called)and how is it fixed to the hood.
Or is this a bodywork man job?
Thanks for any of your help.

People have had success epoxying these back in, if memory serves.
