Fairly standard from being pushed on to shut.
Thanks for the tips, I could really use the help. Will doSpecial putty type stuff that solidifies but will give a little as the metal heats/cools. Look inside the hood and you'll see where the factory put it. You'll probably find gaps where the sheet metal exterior metal isn't touching the putty stuff.
You're working too small an area with your filler. Double the size and use the longest flexible 3M block you have for that area. Don't press hard on the block. Use long strokes in an X pattern.
