Default 68 Head light Bar

I'm ready to put my head lite bar back in. So I'm not going to use the rivets but do I bond the bar to the nose of the car or sould I use the bonding strip also? Not sure why I should use the bonding bar cept if there is not enough adjustment on the head lites without the bonding strip. Any opinons on this? Thanks Manuel

I put mine back in with the bonding strip. Figured it would make the adjustment easier to have the bar back in the same place.

Ok, did you remove all the paint wear it is bonded and do you think it will not rust at the bond? Thanks manuel

Manuel,
I did not do the actual repacement myself but i believe the body man just glued the bare metal to the bonding strip. I would be worried about paint adhesion to the metal if it was painted then glued.
