My 1975 244 DL did this.

The sheet metal skin detached from the hood-supporting structure underneath.

It appears some kind of adhesive was used at the factory to glue together using occasion wads of some kind of glue.

I cleaned out the dried glue chunks, what remained. The owner of the shop I was working for had some stuff in a caulking dispenser made for it. It smelled strongly of solvents and was heat proof.

I'm unsure what you'd use. Use a search engine and search more for a solution?

It would help to know what the Volvo factory used. The stuff is not flexible. Probably why it detaches in time. The flat hoods on 140/240 seem to get it the worst.

Maybe ask an auto body shop? Some NAPA stores are dedicated as auto paint and body shops.

Probably do not want to weld it. There may be a reason Volvo uses glue as part of front end impact protection and crumpling zones and such.

Hope that helps.
