han do you mean the insulationy stuff inside? if so the covering over it was a bit screwed so we had to re-sew some fabric over the top, but apart from that no packing was required :)
no other seals are included, just the hood material itself, we got some glue to stick it plus black sealant for the rear screen, and some rivets.

I think you'll find I'm called dinx.... bit of a difference...
Yes, the insulation/packing, this I am assuming is between the liner and the actual hood. Just I know sometimes when removing/changin cables can result in a different shape, shall we say, of the hood

cheers

Have fitted two of the hoods from this ebay supplier - couldnt find any faults with either of them, strange as it says they are seconds.
Bit of a sod to fit - this guide helped though:

You can get the rubberised horse hair that goes in between the outer and liner from here
http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/p-1532-rubberised-horsehair.aspx  - 1 sheet should be enough

You need to fabricate a material liner though if yours is dead (see pics) make yours a bit wider than mine though to cover the hinges on the edge, i used heavy white cotton with water proof ripstop edges):
