Gets hot, gets wet, gets dirty, gets heavy, etc.  Mine sagged and eventually
broke away.

I think you need to get a pressure washer wand in there to thoroughly clean
the metal, then replace the insulation, though I do not know with what.  A
spray-on product would be my first thought, or you could screw on bails to
hold the insulation padding in place, though I don't like the idea of using
sheet metal screws in the body.

|Hi listers,
|
|        Can someone recommend for me an adhesive that I can
|use to re attach the sagging insolation in my motor
|compartment.  When doing a deep cleaning today I found that
|the thick padding with the tar paper backing was sagging down.
| This is happening on both sides of the car.  This is the area
|I can reach by putting my hand in on the side of the Shock
|facing the front of the car.  I'd like to use a product that
|actually works.  I'm guessing that tar ish paper and metal
|surface might be tricky to adhere to.  Also I suspaect that
|area gets hot when the car is running.
|
|Thanks for sharing any products that have worked for you for
|this purpose or  in similar applications.
