Droopy Bonnet Soundproofing

IGH · 31st May 2024, 14:57

Hi
Never thought it could happen to me but I have the dreaded droop (in my under bonnet soundproofing panel of course).
Anyone come up with a way to stiffen its resolve and stop it lounging on top of the engine when we're out and about?
Any thoughts/suggestions welcomed.
Cheers

The under bonnet insulation can be held up by taking care to drill a small hole into the strut that the insulation covers . Small hole and you can use one of the small plastic push in screws to secure it. Simples.

Are all your fir tree clips in place? There should be 10 of them.
