Mercedes R129 500SL 129 680 20 25 / 1296802025 Hood Pad Installation

The hood pad on the R129 is considered a maintenance item , kind of inconvenience since they last about 5 years? crazy.
So here I replace it on my 1991 500SL with 38K miles, for the 2nd time, not to hard to do, but it has to be done right, hardest part for me was removing old adhesive, plan on 4-5 hours, some just leave old adhesive on, but since there was 2 layers on it I decided to remove it.
Below are links for products and tools I used.
