Chim bonnet catch has come unstuck

[simonriley11]

Took my car for an MOT today (it passed) and whilst removing the bonnet stay from the bonnet catch the whole catch unit came unstuck from the inside of the bonnet (I was there and it wasn't the testers fault). Are there any suggestions as to what I might bond it back on with - the very helpful MOT man has lent me a 2 pack plastic metal kit which he finds will bond anything to anything.

Do you have a picture of which part it is?

[phillpot]

use the stuff he gave you.

I don't have a picture of the part but it's a GRP triangular block with tapered sides which carries the bonnet locking pin and the ball for the bonnet prop.

Had exactly the same thing happen a few years ago. Except for me it occurred on a French motorway travelling to Le Mans at 80mph. Lifted the bonnet up around 9 inches... Proper brown trouser moment.

Some standard Araldite is what was recommended and its done the job. Still solid as with no hint of movement.
