The hood skin adhesive spots on my 2013 finally let loose (there's a TSB for this) and on rough roads the top of the hood visibly jumps up and down. Rather unnerving! Since the car is long out of warranty, I want to try and repair it myself with the 3M adhesive Mazda recommends using. I have the proper plastic trim tools for removing the retaining "buttons" on the underside of the hood. I'm just wondering if any unusual precautions need be taken to avoid dimpling the sheet metal on top?
