You probably are aware that the hood can be positioned completely vertical? Put it in that position,do the forward most fasteners first with a good adhesive[I used liquid nails]. After the front sets up and the shield is hanging perpendicular to the floor,use a razor to put slits in the cover and use a gun applicator to squirt glue under the shield wherever it is needed.Work your way down from top to bottom.A broom or squeege may help while te glue is settng up.
