I know it is a nuisance, but if the Manganese one were mine, I do think I would really replace the hood pad, Either buy the one on auction, or get one from a parts source.

Price is reasonable, but you'd have to work out the adhesive issue, Perhaps yo could do it yorself.

You seem bold enough and know enough about cars probably you could do it by yourself.

The Adhesive issue needs to be worked out, I don't know how youdo it, or get it to dry and still stay on

You see, it the old one is disintegrating, pieces of it couldn't get sucked into the snorkel I don't think, but could maybe cause mischief elsewhere

Just normal wear and tear over the years suggests this is one thing to replace....

Probably a long drive on the highways this weekend is out of the question for you (and the car till you get some things on it taken care of) but a shorter one might be ok

If it is that hot, it sounds like the beach could be gotten to at least.

Doesn't highway 10 or whatever it is, run straight to Santa Monica (if I recall)?

I hope you enjoy the weekend - whatever your plans might be
