Daughters' 300D just got a new hood pad last month. Bought MB model with heat shield in it. Didn't cost too much. Previous pad had heat shield too, but had been installed wrong side down . Heat shield was against hood on driver side. New pad looks like a million bucks. Really dresses up engine bay. Now I have to replace them on my 560 and wifes' 190. If I do them soon, can of glue might still be usable!
