I was installing hood struts today and I snapped the driver's side top bolt on the hood. :(
I rechecked my torque setting several times at 17 lb. I'm not sure what went wrong. How bad is it to get this fixed? I wasn't looking at having to get a carbon fiber hood.
I also can't find the bracket anywhere. I'm going to have to check behind the wheel well.
** Edit **
The simple fix is to tig weld a stud to the old bolt. It only takes a welder a few minutes and the hood does not need to be removed.
