FWIW, it's my understanding that the 129 material is NOT like the 107 material. A member of our club had a hood pad from the dealer fall apart BEFORE he installed it!
But, it's important to follow directions with the 3M "super" spray-on contact cement. Distance is important. Temperature is crucial throughout the installation and drying process (above 65F, as I recall). Both hood and pad need to be glued, and then they need to be left to semi-dry out for 10-15 minutes or so. I did these things, and the 107 pad just slapped right in, stuck first time, no problems, I did it with no help. Keep in mind that the 107 actually has TWO of these (the one over the heater box and back is called a "seal", but it's made of the same material. ABSOLUTELY put drop cloths over EVERYTHING behind the rear edge of the door while doing this, and under the hood too. The overspray is automatic paint destruction. IF you don't have a hood pad, be aware that one of its purposes is to stop the paint on the hood from burning off. Certainly, you seen cars with the paint burnt off the hood driving around...
