Re: [MBZ] Hood pad life (or lack of)
I buy this stuff in a roll from a place that specialises in insulation (for the music industry and such), it has it's own self adhesive backing but it is not that good so I spray some glue on the hood and cut the insulation to suit.

Re: [MBZ] Hood pad life (or lack of)
Probably rub on engine components. I use a aftermarket product specifically designed for the job, which is about 1/2 thick. Have had it on my 230E for well over two years and still looks like new. I have heard people say that the pad they bought from dealers is rubbish and not lasting. This is strange because the lifespan of original factory pads is round about 15 to 20 years. I just recently pulled the original one out of my Mum's 86 190E because it was starting to crumble. - Original Message - From: Hans Neureiter [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Friday, October 20, 2006 12:37 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Hood pad life (or lack of) I think what I bought was junk.

Re: [MBZ] Hood pad life (or lack of)
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. At 10:07 AM 10/19/2006, you wrote: I think what I bought was junk.
