Hood Liner Mod How To

[jpk]

Here ya go!

Very clean install, Black03. I bought some Flex Trim, but then I returned it when I realized that the thickness of the blanket varies and it didn't look like the Flex Trim would seal very well on the thinner parts. I just used black duct tape instead. Doesn't look as "OEM" as your job, but by using duct tape I was able to cut the holes smaller to match the shape of the vents. The tape also seems to hold the fragile foil and fiberglass together better.

go to a boat shop for flex trim. The one I went to had a spool of it and I just bought 3 feet for like 2 bucks. I haven't noticed any problems with the water getting in through the vents.

Yeah, it was the same price for me here in WA state. That's another reason I returned it and just used black duct tape.

I posted this over in the Vent Mod Thread a while back and figured I'd move it over to the Hood Liner Mod Thread as well. Enjoy.

After doing a pretty good job on my original Hood Blanket on my 2003 10th Anniversary, I decided to try do an even cleaner job on my 2004 Mystichrome by 3M ScotchGarding the Hood Blanket first to try to add some Water Proofing/Stain Resistance and then Paint it for even more protection.

Only time will tell how effective this is going to be at keeping the Hood Blanket in good condition.

Here are the pics for anyone who wants to do a clean Hood Blanket Mod.

Mark the back side of the Hood Blanket following the creases and rounding the corners as much as possible.

Using a Fine Hacksaw Blade cut in the lines you marked from the back side of the Hood Blanket.

These are what the cut pieces should look like.

These are what the holes should look like.

Using a regular Stapler, go around the edges of the openings to help keep them from deteriorating over time.

Get a large can of 3M ScotchGard from AutoZone or similar store.

Hang the Hood Blanket on something and spray it with 2-3 light coats of 3M ScotchGard. Allow some time in between coats for the 3M ScotchGard to dry.

Get a large can of Black Vinyl/Fabric Paint from AutoZone or similar store.

Hang the Hood Blanket on something and spray it with 2-3 light coats of Black Vinyl/Fabric Paint. Allow some time in between coats for the Black Vinyl/Fabric Paint to dry.

Get some pieces of Rubber Edging and carefully install it on the edges of the cut holes. Crimp the Rubber Edging with some pliers all around the opening.

This is the finished product.

That is a quality job right there. Nice work. I need to find the trim and finish it off

Beautiful alterations on this thread, but just rip out that hood liner. Its the easy way of doign things. The paint isn't going to come off and you'll keep things cooler. Then you can some of these vents like I did.

I'm keeping the Hood Blanket on because Ford wasn't nice enough to paint the Underside of my Hood when it came from the Factory.

I've already got the Hood Vent Mod covered with these Billetflow beauties.
