Hood Hinge Problem

The hood on my 240 shuts offcenter with the driver's side of the hood raised slightly. I found the problem to be the base of the hinge on the driver's side is lifting up when the hood shuts. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they did to fix it?

It appears that the front of the hinge base is bolted down but the back is put on with some kind of adhesive. I guess mine finally just let go. Anyone know what you are supposed to use to put it back on?
