Hood insulation pads
I have my 951 stored for the winter. This evening I opened the hood to check battery, fluids, etc. Found the evidence of a field mouse. The little animal had been making a home and used a good portion of the hood insulation.
How hard is to replace the insulation pads?
Thanks.

Hello, When you go to remove that old decaying hood liner use an old sheet to cover the engine compartment. BIG HINT!! If you can't find an old sheet, don't let your wife know you used a good one. Use a plastic scraper to remove the old stuff. I have the one from Classic9 and really like it.
Cheers,
Larry

I soaked my old insulation pad with Goof Off and scraped with a plastic putty knife. It took me a good two hours to completely remove the old bad. Not sure what I'm going to replace it with yet.

I know it sounds tacky, but has anybody tried that Mylar foil backed bubble wrap type insulation used for HVAC ducting and sold at building supply stores like Home Depot? It comes in rolls maybe 2' wide, is very light weight, reflective, non-absorptive, and presumably could be attached with contact cement. Designed for heating and air conditioning ducting, engine bay temperatures should not be a problem.
