Title: Need a new hood mat
Post by: Skunksmash on October 08, 2008, 08:53:54 pm
Do you sell replacements for those mats that stick to the underside of the hood? I think they are referred to as engine silencer mats. Mine is coming apart, it's tattered and old. It hangs down onto the engine and looks bad when you open the hood. If you do not sell it, does anyone have any idea where a new one can be bought? (not the dealership if at all possible)

we don't have those.  If you find a supplier for them (not a reseller) I can possibly add them.

I need one too.  I will most likely use a reflective hood-liner from a company that sells dampening mats, like Second Skin or Dynamat.  The only problems are (a) it doesn't look stock and (b) I have yet to find such a mat that is bigger than my hood, which means buying two and taping them together with heat reflective tape.  :-\

I bought mine on ebay

Here is one:

Buy one that is already cut.  Do not buy the one you have to cut.  Mine was precut and fit like a glove.

Chris, I sent that eBay seller an email asking the manufacturer of the hood liners.  I'll let you know what he says.

Chris,

I'll have to look at all my paperwork when I get home.  I bought the mat about a year ago.  I'll look and see.

He already shot me back a response.  The company is REM (http://www.remautoinc.com/index.php).

Cool, I'd rather buy a hood liner from you than an eBay seller.

It usually takes them a while to go through the checks and stuff and I haven't heard back from them yet, so...
I have one company that I have been waiting 2 months for...

Thanks.

I'm also in the market for hood insulation.

Just checked eBay and they don't have anything for pick-ups, just passenger cars.

Any updates on where to get this stuff?

Thanks
