How to install the hood lining on a Mercedes E-Class 190.

Model: Mercedes Classe E W210 - Years 1995-2002
Part: Body

Let's see how to install an insulated hood lining on a Mercedes E-Class 190: remove the old panel, which in the video had a front lip fixed with hooks; We will also need to remove any glue residue from the hood; a clean surface is essential for the job to be done well. We will find the new lining on AliExpress (check compatibility with your car carefully) with code 1005007498017203 at a price of 27.29 euros, free delivery. Very important is the use of the correct glue. The YouTuber recommends a specific contact adhesive that we can find on mercedessource.com by searching for "HoodPad kit" at a price of $42.50 + delivery charges (not specified). The most delicate step is, after applying the glue, the positioning of the panel, because once the panel touches the glue, it cannot be moved without tearing. We must be extremely precise from the first attempt. Glue the panel starting from a reference point (e.g. the center) and moving outwards, making sure to tuck the edges under the hood profiles.
