You have discovered why we don't carry them ANY LONGER.

Your best protection is to buy THIS FRAGILE ITEM from a local dealer so you don't have all the damage and return issues.

if CHUCK gets one in good condition, by the time it shipped to you most likely won't be.

BEEN THERE-QUIT THAT

Every hood pad that the dealer gets in is damaged

Is the damage catastrophic or just bent corners? Some people can be happy with straightened padothers demand perfection....

i personally have not looked at the damaged ones the dealer called me and told me about it they know how picky i am. yes i would like an absolute perfect pad or as close to as possible. i have already took my old one off and destroyed it

I feel your pain. It took me four tries before I'd accept one that I felt was good enough to keep. Why they can't or couldn't package these things better to protect them is totally beyond me. The main issue is the bent or broken corners although I had a couple with rips in the fabric.

I will have to get in the garage and take a look. I think it is near perfect.

It might be perfect in Texas, but it won't be by the time it gets to Ohio..... then there's a battle of responsibility

Im in the same boat as you. Remember a few months ago i posted about how a mouse chewed the heck out of my hood pad. Well i still didnt get a new one yet but i found them for $135.00. But im also affraid of ordering it and having it show up bent. I need it to be excellent for when i take the car to shows. sorry to hijack. Heres the link to the one i might order. https://www.dodgepartsonline.net/oem-dodge-parts.html Just click on make, model, and year. Then on the left side click hood. A few sub catagories will pop up. Click on hood and components. Then click hood insulator. You can view trhe price and a illustartion the part you are looking at. Hope this helps.

Do you know if they have them in stock?? Or do they have to order them because they aren't available to order because Chrysler is changing vendors for that part

Ok i ordered a hood pad from my local dodge dealer today. They said there are none avalible right now. And that there is one other than mine on order in the country. So now that theres two on order they might beable to get some. QUICKSRT10
is the other one thats on order yours? If not maybe if you order one it might help get the ball rolling on these hood pads. I'll pm you just in case you dont read this post.
