I just did this on my '88 560 SEL. Removing & reinstalling the hood was not difficult at all (with one assistant helping out). Just a couple of clips and a couple bolts to remove. There was no issue with re-alignment or anything.

Hello,
Under the hood of my 380 SE there is a material I believe is to quite engine noise. The material is starting to fall off in the front onto the radiator fan. What can I use to re-attach the material to the hood?
Thanks,
Yep... just replace it.
My local Mercedes wrecking yard Wreckomended (hehe) contact cement as an adhesive for this job... Just make sure to clean the hood thoroughly first...
Also, the 3M spray can stuff is probably the same material, but will go on lighter, which is some advantage.
