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. -----Original Message----- From: dmc83_gullwing [mailto:jasperkins@xxxx] Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 3:13 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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!
