This buy it now item includes the liners for both sides of the 944 and 924.

It's made of special blend of 1/4 inch thick closed cell nitrile vinyl foam rubber designed for aircraft firewalls and bulkheads.


Theliner must be glued to the inside of the hood with adhesive. I recommend 3M SprayAdhesive #80.


When I had my Porsche repainted I searched for a material that insulates yet doesn't reflect heat to use as a hood liner. I finally found this material that fits the bill perfectly and put it on my own Porsche 928 6 years ago.

It adds a much cleaner look to your engine compartment, holds up to water, oil, petrol and mildew, much better than the OEM hood pads and keeps the exterior of the hood cool while not reflecting engine heat back down toward your intake. It's actually made for covering the firewall in aircraft and is FAA approved for aircraft.

Compare this hood liner to a factory original or factory replacement.

Made of 1/4 inch nitrile vinyl closed cell foam rubber, it will not absorb water or oil. Its light, about14 ounces, and is also fire retardant and insulates against sound and heat.

You can wash it and hose it off. Since it’s made for aircraft firewalls and bulkheads, it’s extremely light and unlike the factory liner will not absorb water and resists mildew. It has a smooth finish and the color is black.

Its pre cut to fit all modelPorsche 944s and 924swith thesame hood design as seen in thephotographs. Installation is easy using 3M type #80 or # 90 spray adhesive or other high temp adhesive for vinyl nitrile foam rubber.

I put the same liner on my Porsche 928 6 years ago.

It has not been affected by moisture or engine heat even after a 1400 mile trip from Michigan to the Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee and back and several 1500 mile strips to NYC and back. On one trip the car blew a radiator hose at 85 MPH which soaked the entire engine compartment with extremely hot steam and antifreeze. The liner was unscathed.

This buy it now item includes only thePorsche 944/924liner.

Instructions

  • To install this liner I recommend 3M spray adhesive #80. It’s a high temp contact cement adhesive made for this type of material. Do NOT use general adhesive sprays or sprays designed for carpet. On my own car, 3M # 80 has held up for several years.
  • The hood liner is resistant to water, oils, heat etc, but its not indestructible. If you pull it too hard or gouge it with a tool it will tear. Handle it carefully.
  • It's pre-cut to fit without trimming but if you stretch it don't worry, you can trim it off at the bottom.
  • With the hood on a smooth flat surface and protected from scratches dry fit it to get a feel for the material and see how it lines up.
  • Mask off areas to protect from overspray.
  • Follow the instructions for the adhesive you're using.
  • Spray the hood with adhesive.
  • Cover the area you just sprayed with wax paper. The kind you get at a grocery store. The wax paper should be bigger than the hood liner so you can grab the ends.
  • Spray the hood liner with adhesive.
  • Set the liner into place on top of the wax paper.
  • Line it up and tuck in the sides and corners.
  • When it’s lined, up pull out the wax paper.
  • Press the liner into place.
