The remains of the hood pad are best removed using 3M's Glue Remover. As was written, 3M Super Trim Adhesive is used to glue the pad to the hood. Both products come in aerosol cans and can be purchased at Pep Boys and other auto parts stores (I got mine at Performance Products and paid more than Pep Boys).

Replace the pad on a warm day so the glue works best (like 75-80 degrees or hotter) and to extend a bit the time you have to move the pad before the glue sets. It helps a lot to have two people to position and press the pad to the hood. You can do it by yourself if are patient and use an old broom handle to help press the pad to the hood (or something like a broom handle).

Other members probably have suggestions on mounting the hood pad and there are several threads discussing this topic.

Good Luck!
Tom
