Mercedes Hood Insulation Pad - OE Supplier 2016820326

Product Information

A hood insulation pad is a layer of insulating material attached to the underside of a vehicle’s hood. Its primary functions are to reduce engine noise heard inside and outside the cabin, protect the hood’s paint from engine heat, and sometimes provide limited fire protection by slowing flame spread. Over time, the insulation pad can degrade due to heat, vibration, and exposure to fluids or contaminants.

• Noise increase – more engine noise or vibration heard in the cabin or outside.
• Heat damage – hood paint fading, discoloration, or warping from excess engine heat.
• Physical deterioration – sagging, tearing, missing sections, or contamination from oil/coolant leaks.
