Re: [FWDLK] Question for the list.....



The factory undercoating was a miserable hot tar substance that would have been very difficult for a dealer to apply (they'd have to remove all of the interior for one thing).  I chipped 4 coffee cans of it out of my Savoy-vedere's interior alone.
 
Undercoating was also done as a sound deadener, so it would make sense that hood insulation (a noise suppressor) would be installed on undercoated cars.
 
I have been told that all of the a/c equipped cars came with the hood insulation to help quiet the racket of the compressor as well.
 
Can't positive confirm either though.

I thought undercoating was done at the dealership and not at the factory?  If this is true then the hood pad theory isn't accurate.

I don't understand the relationship between one and the other.  What makes you certain of this ?

Only those 57 and 58's with factory undercoating had hood pads.

I would use Permatex Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive.  And, yes, 57-8 Plys did have a hood pad.
