89 911 engine sound deadening
The piece off sound deadening material in the engine bay in my 89 911 is falling down and breaking up on the ends. Is this difficult to replace? It's awful tight in there. Does anything have to come off of the engine to be able to install this properly? Thanks

Hi Robertmark- Huge fan of David Etter's Padkeeper- very easy to install (minutes!) and it completely covers, supports and holds the existing pad's front edge. He's easier to reach on Facebook- just Google, "David Etter Padkeeper"

It’s not too difficult, but it helps A LOT to partially drop the engine (6” or so). If you remove the blower motor and air cleaner, it helps even more. Have some adhesive ready to tack it up there (3M Automotive Spray Adhesive works well, though if you search here you will find other options also.

Hi Robertmark- I'll caveat by stating this is solely my opinion... the Padkeeper supplies a finish similar to the actual pad. I've always felt it improves the overall appearance of the bay. Your eyes are not immediately drawn to a sagging or broken pad, thus it visually creates a cleaner look.
Note the texture of the edge...  911 Cooking- The compound butter made the difference. https://youtu.be/FvXBR50rH9E
