Re: [MBZ] hood pads (was FCP euro)

After having done one with the hood in place, I did the next two after pulling the hood off - it's much easier to work on and to keep spray off everything else. I found that I much prefer to scrape old adhesive off with the hood up-side-down than to work overhead. It takes two to comfortably and

Re: [MBZ] hood pads (was FCP euro)

I pretty much concur with Peter, but I like to spray/apply adhesive to the parts separately. I mask off the hood and cover the engine compartment with an old sheet. I have a roll of butcher’s paper I put down on the floor where I place the pad and spray it. Once everything sets up (five

It's been a while since we had this topic discussed, so here's the drill: 3M 8090 only, don't use anything else -- for two reasons: It stays up, and you can get it back off. Liquid nails will work, but is pure hell to clean off enough to get a new pad to stay up, I had this on the old 300D.

Re: [MBZ] hood pads (was FCP euro)

What adhesive do you use for the hood pads? I tried 3m high tack spray, but it seems to come loose over the high temp areas of the engine bay. On Feb 15, 2018 8:15 AM, "Dan--- via Mercedes" wrote: Ordered a hood pad and some other bits and bobs for the 400E from them

IT IS NOT the glue. And the 1/2 sheet of open cell polymer foam really does not do anything. (Creates a bad image when sitting crumbled on top of the motor after the hood is opened) Do you all know why there ar rubber gears used in the speedo? MB's answer to catch up with the Bentley 1960's sense

Re: [MBZ] Hood Pads IMHO: The heat shield is for the higher mounted turbos, like the '85 300D CA model, as there is nothing between the turbo and the hood. On this model the air cleaner is mounted in the front passenger side corner. I have this model, and it needs a heat shield, others shouldn't

heat shield is for the turbo, since it matters not to the hoodpad if it is going into any w123. If you have the turbo, you want the heatsheild. On 7 Sep 2007, at 10:07, LarryT wrote: Howdy - I need a hood pad for the '78 240D and noticed Rusty sells one with, and one without a

Make sure you use the high temp stuff, not the regular! I think the high temp is product 8090, not all stores have it. If you use the regular adhesive, it will fall off in a couple months. You should be able to get almost two pads glued in with one can, a light mist completely covering the

Liquid nails is both overkill and a HUGE PITA to clean up next time. The original wasn't held up by very much adhesive at all -- just use the heavy duty/high temperature 3M 8090 and it will stick forever. Mine is going on three years now, looks like the day I stuck it up there. Took me

Re: [MBZ] Hood Pads

The heat shield isn't for keeping the sun out, it's for keeping the heat under the hood and the paint on your hood. It would be worth a few extra bucks for a little extra protection in the long run. --Robert LarryT wrote: Howdy - I need a hood pad for the '78 240D and noticed
