Perhaps epoxy is the solution. You can buy five minute epoxy at Wal-Mart or
Home Depot type stores.
Remove the Hood, engine cover and fill the hole with epoxy from the top
side. Over fill slightly and use a toothpick to work out any air bubbles.
How about putting a nut on the end of the eye hook and epoxy that into the
cover. Let it fully cure, perhaps a day or longer so it develops its full
strength.

Subject: [DML] Help: How do I fix my trunk latch?


I noticed the other day that my Trunk (engine cover) loop latch had
fallen off, and was stuck in the release mechanism. After getting
my wife to pull the trunk release, I was able to remove that eye
hook from the release mechanism.

I need a good work-around to keep that eye hook in the hole. Any
recommendations?

Thanks!
