Rover 75 bonnet black fibre liner.
Hi, the black fibre liner on the inside of my R75 bonnet has been contaminated
over time with screen wash liquid leaking from the plastic supply tubes to the washer jets above and it is now quite badly stained and the composite material has started to disintegrate. Has anyone else had this happen and are replacements liners available? thanx, Kev. |

Mine was looking scruffy where it was rubbing on the engine cover
Took it off and binned it , diesels don't produce enough under bonnet heat to damage the paint work. Stan

At the moment my car has that many rattles and bangs that if you took the bonnet off it wouldn't be any noisier , but it didn't make a lot of difference.

There are decent second hand ones out there ... I had to get one after the mice destroyed my old one ... it just takes a bit of looking.

They also tend to rub on the clip that holds the throttle cable on the manifold , at least on the V6. They tend to go baggy as well I think as the layers of foam and material start to separate. I got a good, used one from Mickyboy on here - came off a diesel I think and just gave it a clean up and looks a lot better |

My liner got pretty baggy and droopy so I added a polyester resin 'framework' into the fibrous side and that fixed it. I used fibreglass resin basically (without the fibreglass) and painted a couple of 1" wide stripes from top to bottom and left to right. Using an old paintbrush I stippled the liquid resin into the matting so it penetrated a good way in and bonded all the fibres together. After a few hours curing, the pad was pretty robust again and now fits nicely under the bonnet with minimal sagging.
It's a common problem and I should have done a HowTo with photos, but never thought. TC Last edited by T-Cut; 5th April 2019 at 13:59.. |
