Do I need new tabs to keep the hood pad in place with the new adhesive??? I can't get the old tabs out, should I rip them out??? Do they come apart somehow??? Thank you for reading this. Mike McKinney

Can you take a photo?

I literally just did my '86 190Es pad. It was a small one (not the full size you probably have). It had no clips, but they sent me some with the new pad.. but there was nowhere for them to go. I just used the adhesive on mine, and that should be fine for you.

How much did your replacement pad cost? Here in the UK mine was £25.
