Default Sunoco cowl hood problems

Has anyone had any problems with the nuts inside the hood breaking loose and spinning?

Looks like I am the only one that has had this problem... I really just wanted to see how common this was, and that way I could decided if the other side would need to be re-enforced.

Did you overtighten the bolt?

Never got that far... Bolt went in about halfway and then just started to spin. I purchased the hood used, and the guy before me could have. The body shop guy seems to think this is a common problem with fiberglass hoods, and says he can fix it. He is not going to charge me for it, but I was just wondering about the other side. It just sucks because I have to wait even longer to put this hood on . It looks good though .
