My underhood insulation is looking pretty bad. What can I do to replace it, and how can I keep it nice?
You have to start with a brand new piece of hood insulation. Order it from your dealer, it is $64 list, $45 wholesale. Also order a bunch of the large plastic retainers as you will likely damage some when you remove your existing insulation. The hood insulation is part #10196123, and the retainer’s are part #3977775, which come in a box of 25. You only need 15-16 of these. You can attempt to salvage your current insulation by using the same tool you use on your door panels to remove the clips. First, you will have to remove the hood lamp. It is riveted on with aluminum rivets. Drill them out, but first put a piece of tape on the drill bit to act as a stop. You don’t want to slam the bit all the way through and put an out-ding on top of your hood! Pick up a set of the standard black oxide 7mm hex screws with integral washers that GM uses on practically everything to re-attach the lamp. These screws fit perfectly in the existing holes and now you can more easily remove and re-install the
