My hood ling has come away from the roof and was sagging so i ripped it off

does anyone know if there are any WOF ramifications with having no hood lining?

The car is not worth spending big bucks on getting a new one. 1998 voyager

Probably a better place for it. Lings tend to smell fishy after a while, and when they go off, well...

1314310 2012-11-23 22:18:00 Hoodlings? Young gangsters?
I don't think there are implications WOF wise.
But I'm no expert.

If so just scrape the old stuff and apply new material with Ados F38 (think that's the heat resistant one). FYI reupholsterers should charge around 250 to do one without sunroof hueybot3000 (3646)
1314312 2012-11-25 00:58:00 Don't think it matters. As far as I know it's only there to protect the paint from excessive heat, and maybe to dampen noise. Up to you I guess... Agent_24 (57)

1314314 2012-11-25 21:16:00 Thanks guys
Yeah i pulled the lining off but left the cardboard there but it looks terrible. I used a vacuum cleaner and scraped all the sponge off and i will see how it goes
Not sure if i will bother getting it recovered as the vehicle is not worth a lot
