I took an old bed sheet and covered the engine compartment and fenders. I then used a hard rubber squeegee to scrape off the old hood pad. After I got it all off I then I washed the underneath with soap and water. After it dried I put the new pad up by moving the hood back all the way. You can find the releases on the hood hinges, the hood then goes back further. I used the 3m adhesive the dealer sold me with the pad and pressed it on. Don't forget the fasteners in the front. Good luck!
