$28 from Ubi Branch AutoBac. Done on my current Ride, yes it work well for past 4 yrs..
Very easy, just peel double-sided tape & press down. Don't cut but use whole piece. Just trim edges, cut holes for Bonnet Lever & drainage hole if any.
DIY on Forte EX asap when i take delivery late April.

Underbonnet Insulation for 1.6EX P1040726

Just collected from my SE the bonnet insulation mat and fitted it in less than 3 mins (no sweat). Having driven this car for the last 7 weeks, I can really hear the different. I think this insulation mat filter-out the high pitch engine noise cause i feel that the engine pitch sounded lower and my cabin is quieter now. It fit nicely under the bonnet using the button type and look just like the SX type. Recommended.... bounce

by nocash 22nd April 2009, 10:54 pm

$28.50 @ AutoBac Ubi. The material is just like a Woolen Blanket on one side with double-sided tape for easy peel n stick on. While the opposite side is Aluminium foil.

1: The Wool silent the bonnet vibration.
2: The Refective Alu foil deflect the heat.

U need to get another Roll of Aluminium Tape with double sided tape @ $10 from HandiFix to seal gaps on joinst n the exposed Wool at edges. DIY give me lots of satisfaction n get u closer to yr Ride emotionally. Jus likes my traded-in Chevy...letting go was hard n sad as i hav Artwork on drum brake, wheel arch n insulation done too...All passionate DIY. Crying or Very sad

by **tish** 26th April 2009, 1:42 pm

bro, is the Woolen Blanket material advise? woun't it trap heat in the bonnet? Advise?

by newsman 26th April 2009, 2:01 pm

Used 4 yrs in my Old Ride-Chevy AVEO5 n having struck in JB / Woodland chk pt jam for hours : Woolen type without Aluminium Foil. So far so good no Radiator or over heating problem in Chevy.

Now same material in FORTE is 3rd Day now. With Heat Reflector-Alumimium Foil, Engine Temp indicator in Dashboard-Supervision cluster to help me monitor Heat build up if any ? IMO the Radiator, Air flow, Engine Coolent etc shld b ok.

This product from AutoBac. A Japanese retailer.
