Up until the 300D, no MB diesels had hood pads. The inexpensive
alternative is to let it crumble and drive on. I know, this is offensive
to purists.... but so is carpet pad and tinfoil. My preference is to glue
on a new pad, but doing nothing may be better than spray on foam or carpet
pad and tinfoil.
Besides it is kind of entertaining to hear the clatter and have people tell
you your engine is about to come apart.

I think what I bought was junk. I am looking for an alternative to the $ 50
pad + shipping + glue.
What would a 3/4" thick blue insulation board (like what's on my garage
door) do?
