What is the flat rug pad like material on the underside (the engine side) of the hood called? Where can I get a replacement, my present one is very worn?

Any help appreciated.

I don't know what the real name of it is, but you should be able to get one from your local dealer. They're really not necessary though.. You can just take it off if you want and you'll be fine.

 

Hood insulation. Helps keep the paint from getting engine temp hot and muffles the engine sound.

 

Insulating mat. For 2000-2004, the part number can be found at the below link. Should go by similar name for other years:
Insulating mat. Insulating mats ( hood (30882382)(30802733)) for 2004 Volvo (30882383)

 

Okay, where can I get one that will fit my car, but is not Volvo made - they are very expensive.

You can buy insulating material, heat reflective material, sound deadening material, anything you want from places like Jegs, or Summitt racing, or JC Whitney, etc. If price is the main concern there has to be a good substitute somewhere.
