Joanne - here's a couple of shots from the last time I did the deed. Two different cars in three years. Counting yours I know of six cars that need it done. It's a major PITA to get the reinforcement bar out to completely clean both surfaces, but it's even a bigger pain if it pops back loose again.
Getting the HL assemblies out with the radiator and condenser still installed is a bit tight, but can be done.
Turned out great both times, good alignment with hood and HL doors had proper clearance to open.
Here's the stuff from 3M that I used. I'm not familiar with the stuff Sarge recommended, but I'm sure its similar. Overnight clamp recommended, I left it clamped for three days. Easy to use, just make sure both surfaces are clean.
Here's the gun required to apply the two-part cartridge and a sample shot of what the bonded material look like. A bit pricey but worth it. Both are available though Autozone, O'Reilly's and Napa. Cartridge was $48 to 50, gun was $75 to 80 but available to borrow if you go this route.
Good luck and keep us posted !!
