Hood pad

[Area51BS]

Anyone driven a Bronco with and without the under hood insulation pad? Make a difference? I don’t have noise complaints now, but for 50 bucks it looks good.

I installed one. It made a big difference in hood flex at high way speeds.

I installed one and tested this, see video link here. My result: it did reduce noise at idle as measured from outside the vehicle, but it did not reduce noise inside the vehicle at highway speeds where all the other noises (wind, tires) are the predominant source of noise.

OEM or IAG? Other?

that’s about what I figured. Looks better though.

Took Bronco for a 90 mile trip yesterday....first time actually driving any mileage. Pulled over to make sure the hood was closed and latched. Glad to hear this may help .... was bizarre seeing the front side edges of hood flutter.
