Abstract

A front hood is provided for a motor vehicle that includes, but is not limited to damping element of plastic arranged between a top structure and a bottom structure. The damping element is glued to the top structure and the bottom structure. In the event of a head impact on the front hood the deformation of the top structure is retarded by the damping element. The damping element in the process supports itself on the bottom structure.
