I hope you've been masking/covering the heck out of everything. This is VERY MESSY and very risky to remove from paint.

P.S. Are you going to do the "rear" hood seal also? I must be one of the only people who do this one!
I did the above with a slight modification. After cleaning, I fitted and held my pad in place using several magnets (actually magnets parts pans). When I was happy with the fit, I did half of the pad at a time. Pad stayed exactly where I had test fitted.
