Just wondering, that looks like seam sealer in there? Were they not spot welded at least? If they were just sealed up from the factory, and nothing has been bent out of shape then I would guess that theoretically you could scrape out the old and re-seal it.

Good morning and thanks for dropping into my daily question thread...
One of the many things to correct on this little beauty is the hood. The hood skin and the hood frame have become separated. Before I put any kind of sound deadener on, I'd like to rebond the frame to the skin.
Any preferred method for this or sealer that will hold. I believe I'd have to remove the old crap, sand, bond, prime, paint the underside.
