'01 1500 QC hood insulation pad falling down.

From : miles

Q: on my 2001 1500 qc ram the insulation attached to the underside of the hood is falling down. it appears that the pad has shrunk enough to cause it to tear around most of the clips that hold it up. anyone else have this problem im afraid to ask the dealer how much a new pad is and i would assume a new one would only last a year or so as well. any sources of bulk insulation that could be cut to fit and last never had this problem with any other car. usually the pads last for years. .
