cursed avanti Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 I need to install a new under hood pad. What type of adhesive should I use? CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo B Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) If you mean Hood Insulator / Hood Liner ... I used 3M #80 Adhesive Spray. I bought earlier the original styling material and lightly sewed the edges by hand so they don't come loose and hang. I also sprayed hole insulator with black spray. I also bought a neat insulator for the future. They have ready one for Stude Avanti. https://hoodliners.net/collections Edited May 19, 2023 by Leo B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Lackie Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 3M makes an adhesive for this application and headliners. Super Trim Adhesive, product 8090. Any auto parts store can get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim S Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 I tried 3M trim and adhesive and my insulator fell off as soon as the underhood temperatures rose. Then I tried Gorilla glue spray adhesive and again first hot day and after driving for an hour the insulator fell off again. I need something that will hold the insulator in place in these extreme temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used 3M #80 Adhesive Spray and works for me with original style full size insulator (from SI) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use the HD adhesive, 3M number 8090? 3M makes two or three different similar products, but only the #8090 is designed to hold headliners and under hood pads. Also, the instructions must be followed exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the instructions must be followed exactly. I apologize. I misreported. 3M 80 is good for rubber and the like. I used German glue, which is intended for porous materials. I don't know if this is available in the US. Product is: Four Connect Spray Adhesive. 3M 8090 seems to be correct choice. "Aerosol contact adhesive designed for bonding vinyl tops, heavyweight liners and hood silencer pads where high strength and heat resistance are needed."

AD Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 I used DAP Weldwood contact cement, available at Home Depot. I live in AZ where it gets pretty hot, and the pad has been holding on OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim S Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 I was leaning towards trying Weldwood. Thanks for the tips all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
