Would the dealer let you open the hood of other Touring cars in-stock to verify if the insulator is on THOSE cars?

If you feel that you need one, don't forget to order the attaching clips.

PS: You say it's a 2019. Was it sitting in stock for a while?

Are these really true in the case if I install it on my CRV ?
-Insulation to reduce engine noise and oil.
-To keep the hood marginally cooler
-Keep the paint (undercoat and upper coat) under the hood last longer due to huge under-hood temperatures. Paint doesn't like high heat very much and it will age faster.
-To keep the engine temperature fairly constant
The blanket reduces engine noise. NOT oil. :)
It would keep the inside of the hood cooler, sunlight on the outside is worse for the paint. Might reduce lifespan of paint, but again the sun is what kills the paint.
Engine temperature is maintained by the cooling system.

IMO it is mainly to reduce engine noise. If you are fine with the sound you have now, installing one will offer only a marginal enhancement.
