05 hood hinge support cracked. Any DIY fix?

Simple...open door, remove hand grenade from pocket, pull pin, throw grenade in cab, slam door, run like hell. Easy fix to your hood problem

 

Dude that's how you fix the Volvo dpf system.

 

Maybe try some j b weld?

 

I thought about getting some fiberglass mesh and some fiberglass resin and put that over whee the crack is, But you would have to have some support to it and then be sure none of the resin comes to the outside where the paint is, kind of a delicate situation but worth the expense. I reinforced some Volkswagen Fiberglass Baja Fenders way back several years ago, because I wanted to hang the original tail lights on these fenders, it lasted pretty good.

 

Lol oops. Maybe I should've read that a little closer. I read Volvo and problem and gave the fix it all solution.

 

don't use the foam you'll just waste your money. You'd be better off using some plate steel and making a sandwhich to support everything and keep it together. I don't care for fiberglass for this reason. cracks are easy to fix in the hood, but when it has done what you're dealing with there is not easy fix.
