Just sprayed the pad and hood.  Got three coats out of one can.  Letting the 
adhesive tack up for 10-15 minutes.

Not this stuff. They don’t offer it.  Search for 3M 8090.

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

 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.  Terrible job.

Get the hood as clean as you can, then fit the pad dry.  Get it all tucked in 
and properly positioned, then use a broom or something similar roughly in the 
middle to hold the bottom up and pull the top half down.  Make sure the bottom 
half stays where you want it.

Spray a very light coat of the adhesive on the hood and on the pad.  Repeat 
twice, very light coats.  You don't want a thick gummy layer, it is much more 
likely to fail.  Just enough to coat all the edges of the cells on the pad.

Let it dry until tacky, and carefully press the top half onto the hood, 
starting at the broom or whatever you used.  With a bit of care, it will all 
fit exactly the way you had it before applying adhesive.

Repeat for the bottom half.

With the correct amount of adhesive, it will stay up until it falls apart, both 
of mine have.

The key is light but complete coats of adhesive.  One can should do two hoods 
if that gives you an idea of how much to use.  More is NOT better in this case.

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

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

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 minutes or more, 
depending on temperature and humidity) I get the pad positioned and just 
lightly tap it in a couple of places to stick.  Once I’m satisfied that it’s in 
position, I press it into place by hand, then go over it in great detail with a 
brayer (hard rubber or wooden roller) to make sure it adheres properly.

I’ve never had one come off - yet.

I’ll have pictures of the process on the blog tonight.

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

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Just bought two cans of this:

https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/3m-super-trim-adhesive-yellow-19-oz-08090/7160016-P?searchTerm=trim+adhesive

Only stuff I’ll use.  As with anything using adhesives or paint, proper surface 
prep is critical to it performing properly.  As my hood has been scraped of all 
loose gunk, I’ll wipe it down prior to adhesive application with a liberal 
amount of 3M Adhesive Remover.

If you have Advance Auto in the area, they’re the cheapest - you can use a 
promo code to get 20% off.  It ends up being even cheaper than the island of 
large women.


I’ll have pictures of the process up on the blog later today or tonight.

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.
