Adhesive for bonnet lining

[craiginuk]

Hi, can anyone suggest a suitable high temp adhesive to stick some matting to the inside of the bonnet on my 944 turbo please? Is this material actually neccesary? If i took it out would i run into problems?

Most people allow it to come off!
It's not really necessary, but a real pain to fully remove with the glue.......

Thanks Mike, is there any issue with high temp from the turbo? Tempted to remove the lining but it seems to have a shiny heat reflective bit on one side.

No - Porsche stopped using it for the later cars (Simon probably knows the exact date [] )

My 1991 S2 has no insulation on the hood (has shiny metal liner on the inner wheel wells by the exhaust) and there is a sticker on the underside of the hood about the middle about 1/3 of the way to the front. It looks like there has never been insulation there - no glue residue, etc. Mine came from Japan tho - limited option model - no sunroof, cruise control, etc.

I don't think my 88 turbo ever had it. I wouldn't bother mate. The only problem it could cause I suppose would be paint problems but it doesn't unless you have had a crap repair done.
