This may not be a stupid question. I am not sure yet.
I need to replace the hood pad in Frosch, as it is old, baked and beginning to
crumble and fall off in chunks. I was able to source a fairly nice condition
pad off a PnP SL a few months ago. I decided to use it as a template to cut a
pad
Got a big box from Rusty today containing the hood pad for the 240D. Its never
had one in the 5 years its been around me so I figure with the new hood its
time.
I've got a pad for my 190D too thats never been installed.
What is the preferred hood pad adhesive?

Yes, it would short out your battery, albeit for only few seconds until the
foil vaporized.
Just remove the foil in an area around the exposed terminals or the battery as
a whole and you should be OK.

Wait until the new pad dies and you want to scrape off that polyurethane and

There are two 3M adhesives -- 8090 and I think 8070. You want the
high strength one, the regular won't hold the pad up when it gets hot.
I used one can for two pads, still holding, although the pad on my

I don't think you can get all of the resigoo off the hood, but scraping it
