Is there something that belongs in there? I media blasted the hood myself, but I do not remember seeing anything in between those two pieces..
Any replies appreciated- thanks.

It was glued to the hood skin. I think most of them have fallen out over the years.

Maybe a piece of felt will work?

Apparently it was foam rubber, not webbing. I have some stick on foam that I may try on my hood, assuming I can get the sticky side in place in the right position.
