You can always goto a dealer, though you are gonna pay for it. If you want a better option, try Dynamat (or one of their competitors). They have several different options that do a good job of dissipating heat that work well for the hood.

Or you could just remove it and go without one. My 2001 Taco didn't even have one from the factory. I took it off my 93 truck (to make room for something) Is it falling down because the clips are broken or because it's damaged. You might be able to get the clips at the dealer if that's the problem. I'd sell you my old one if I could see a good way to ship it.

If im thinking of the same thing your thinking of then My understanding is it is more of a fireblanket...so if your motor goes up in flames it wont get to outa control because the plastic clips that hold it on will melt before the material does and itll fall on the fire smothering it....

So its really not all that important in my mind anyways because if the car goes up in flames its probably time for a new one anyways lol

its also designed to reduce engine noise, and help insulate it in the winter. it isnt necissary. a lot of the base model toy's didnt even come with it stock. Its really not worth what you'd pay to get a new one...

mine does not have one and has not holes for clips to attach one. I would like it for noise reduction, but I got other stuff to do.
