Sagging hood pad a problem?
My hood pad is sagging right above my throttle linkage. If this is a problem, what sort of adhesive should i use?

be careful as you touch it as it has decades of oil soaked in it.

I found that cardboard + zip ties works wonders for holding up that pesky edge.
Mine got doused when my oil lines broke and I am not going to replace it until all oil/power steering seepage is gone. |

what's the advantage of having the pad w/heatsheild at $82 vs. the one without at $57 on fastlane?

The SD has one of the generic pads without the heat shield. It's not quite the quality of the more expensive pad but seems to hold up fine.

My hood pads failure was not related to having the heat shield or not I would go with whatever you like...I don't think in a properly ventilating engine in a reasonable climate, the heat shield is nessesary |

What is the purpose of a hood pad at all? Dampen the noise maybe? Both of my cars' pads have long since departed. Is it something serious that I should address soon?

If mine dissapeared on the SD...I would replace it. THe 240D doesn't sound so nice without its pad. |
