Re: [Chrysler300] Speaking Of Hood Pads.....

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

All:
I think I used the 3M General Trim Adhesive on my 300F hood silencer pad,  
but can't be sure, it was so long ago.  At any rate, I have never had any  
problems with loosening.  Coat both silencer and hood, let dry some, and be  
VERY sure position is correct before assembling.

Hi Mike, and Group - 



The F hood  pad is glued on - Mine had started detaching and I used the 3M 
weatherstrip  cement - Now whether that's the suggested adhesive or not, I 
can't confirm. I  looked back at my photos of Gil's blue F convertible from 
our St Charles and  Chattanooga Meets, and Dave Clelland's black F 
convertible from our Carmel  Meet, and neither of those fully restored cars have the 
fasteners that John N  mentioned earlier in his email re the Gs.  So possibly 
Chrysler had a  problem keeping the pads glued on also, and went the 
fastener route in '61. I  also looked at photos of Frank Troost's restored [now] 
terra cotta F coupe,  here locally, with no hood pad, and no provision for 
such fasteners is  visible. 



I also stopped by the nearby Muscle Car and Vette  Show at Rosemont near 
O'Hare Airport this past Saturday and visited with  our Club Member Jim Maiani 
from upstate Michigan who had his beautiful  Survivor - including all 
original paint, chrome, interior - red H coupe at the  show, in the feature "Cars 
of '62" exhibit (50-yr anniversary). Displayed  between '62 Galaxie and '62 
Impala coupes, the H really sparkled!  



The 2nd of the two Chryslers at the show was a  beautiful restored Hurst 
300 - window sign said owned by Steve Southwell  of Illinois. I didn't get a 
chance to meet Steve.

I have had no luck finding an adhesive that will keep the  hood pad in 
place. I've tried contact cement and 3M Super 77 spray adhesive --  with no luck 
at either of them holding. 

Any suggestions from those who  have been successful at this?
