Searched but most threads are about removing or leaving the hood insulation material.

As you can see from the pics below the top/black layer of my insulation material is peeling off. I can't get one from US, because of the size the shipping will cost a lot so I am wondering if it'll be ok if peel off the black layer of the material and trim some of the damaged yellow material.

I don't know if the yellow material underneath is something like hay and without the black layer if it'll fall or peel off easier.

Next step is trying to find a stick on heat insulation material but for the time being I would like to know if this will be ok to do and if it'll last.

 

can't you just get some super glue to re-attach the end that is peeling to hold you over until you decide on a final solution. I don't think ripping ALL of the black liner off would be a good idea as the insulation will probably start to crumble and end up all over your engine bay.

 

I would recommend just removing the stock liner and going for some of the new materials available today. Something like this:

Practical but ugly. Mahjik's solution is probably best for you.

Doesn't the stock hood cowel also help with engine fires? In the event of a fire I read that it detaches from the hood.

 

Thanks guys, tired of answering ppl asking "what happened to this" each time I open the bonnet.

Mahjik, thanks for the link, I'll look into it, if i can have it shipped here at a reasonable cost I think it'll solve my problem.

 

Hmmmmm.....wonder how the home improvement store version of DYNAMAT would work?
