Foam rubber blocks at rear of bonnet

Can anyone tell me what role the foam rubber blocks at the top rear of the front wings do?
A part number would be great (they are left and right handed).
Many thanks.

Mine have disintegrated too. I guess they are part of the sound insulation. If the parts low cost it makes sense to replace them.

Replaced twice under warranty, third ones have now disintegrated. They soak up water badly.

They are a water trap and can cause corrosion! They are also behind the bumpers and in the chassis recesses! All ready to rot the panels out in years to come!

So, would you be comfortable taking them off and not replacing them on your car Craig?

I find the ones on my car soak up water really well! Sorry, couldn't resist, IKWYM.
Anyway, they are a poor piece of design, and if Craig says they aren't needed, that'll do for me.

If anyone can specify exactly where else they appear on the car (L322 in my case) that would be most helpful.

Likewise, mine are falling apart and although I have the replacements, I can't see the point in fitting them if they'll just do the same again.

I have tried standing them in the sunshine ( last summer not this ) to dry them out which helped, then I sprayed them with a good coating of WD40, but next time they get very wet they are going in the bin.

First run on A3/M27 without them today and I could not hear any difference.
I guess some cars whistle and some don't

I want to replace mine but am slightly confused about the fact they come in 2 parts?

I can see a big block sat on top of wing when I open bonnet. Where’s the 2nd part go?

Cheers Regards
