My foam padding underneath the hood keeps flaking off. I just want it to be all gone. What is the best way to remove this padding? I will most likely replace it with something else. It just looks horrible and makes me nervous it might catch on fire.

I think acetone or cab cleaner will disolve it. Put some on a rag to check. If it does, cover the engine with plastic painters wrap and put it in a spray bottle or ketchup/mustard squirter and shoot it up in there. follow with finger or large screwdriver on a rag.

Plastic scapers, 3m adhesive remover in the spay can or 3m general purpose adhesive cleaner #08984, plastic to cover engine, and a few hours of your time will get it off.

Used the same...plastic scraper is much better than a screwdriver to prevent scratches. I also had good luck with WD40. Cover the engine area as everything will drop drip or fall in there.

What is everyone using as a replacement?

Dave over at 944 foot to the floor wrote a fantastic guide to installing new sound material. I think it looks fantastic with some of Van's decals.

He also has a great guide for how to remove it:

Leave it off. It was deleted by the factory during MY 88

When I cleaned the glue off mine I didnt add anything except wax.

My apologies. I thought you were referring to the foam I found in the slots in my hood and not the hood liner. Disregard my inputs.

Has any one just applied the Decals? Van will yours hold up to the heat?

Is that stuff heavy at all?
