To your point, I have long ago ditched the factory felt style hood pad. Its rarely the adhesive that fails, but rather the fiber material in the pad fails and it eventually turns to dust.
5 years strong on a double sided mylar with bubble inner layer insulation from Home Depot. It glues better as each side is fully closed/solid layer, the mylar resists the engine bay heat and the material is fully bonded through and through, so nothing fibrous to break down.
I believe this is it
