I made this video due to popular demand. Lots of people, including me, had no idea what this part really did and why the engineers added it. So, I decided to research and found out that the primary reason for a hood insulator pad is for fire protection.

I also talk about the random comments people posted about it protecting the paint on an MK4 Toyota Supra, which is not true based on what others have experienced over years without it.
Now I do have to make the statement that every car is different and the way they are engineered can vary. So an "insulator" might have a different purpose for another make or model. This information is based on my 1994 Toyota Supra.
