PS how do you get the plywood, foam inserts out of the truck recess to check the unlocking pump for water intrusion??
My hood liner made marks on my NA engine cover at the front, I used contact glue which I applied through a slit in the liner, put it in onto the metal, pushed the two together, separated them till they were tacky and pushed them together again.
It may seem a tacky way of doing it but it held the liner up and away from the cover and all was good again.
