I replaced the one on the previous 300D I had and I seem to remember it was
going south after about 3 years
Must be so . I got mine off the shelf but seemed a little crumbly as if

A hood pad was OEM on my 1970 280SE 3.5 W111 coupe. I know this for a fact
because I purchased one from the dealer that fits perfectly.

I was being facetious about the spray on. I got Gump a nice w123 pad
and installed that a few years ago. so far it is doing just fine.
There was some damage from excess B100 leaking from a return hose and a
bolt out of place, but other than that, I expect another 7 years on
the pad.

Up until the 300D, no MB diesels had hood pads. The inexpensive
alternative is to let it crumble and drive on. I know, this is offensive

Don't remember for sure where I got it. Prolly The Benzbin.
I am the only pack rat around here, and I didn't do it.
My oil filler plug leaked a lot, so there were plenty fumes even the pad
