One question (maybe I missed it in your write up). Did you glue the poly-iso sheets in place or are they just being held up by the cross braces?
Thanks.
So the only thing you used was the cross members to hold up the insulation? also did you just cover the main area of the roof not the sides?ghcoe wrote:Before I continued with the headliner I wanted to install a new heat barrier. The Jeep had a thin foam barrier at one time. I removed that a long time ago because it was falling apart and coming into the cab. For the new barrier I will be installing 1/2" Polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel. The Polyisocyanurate foam will withstand the heat better than extruded polystyrene foam insulation. 1/2" is a tight fit between the roof and the forward cross member so I moved the cross member back as far as I could so I would not have to try and install it with the foam in, plus it will help to hold the foam up in the front as I slid the foam forward.
Once I got the foam pushed all the way in I had to cut off about 6" to clear the rear panel. Then I reinstalled the other two cross members, using slight pressure to make sure I had a good tight fit on the foam to the roof. Now when I open and shut my doors I do not get a tin can effect and it sounds solid.
Yes and yes.koda279 wrote:So the only thing you used was the cross members to hold up the insulation? also did you just cover the main area of the roof not the sides?
Yes. I do believe the sagging is because it was a little too narrow and did not have the slight arch to help hold it in place. It actualy held pretty good untill the heat of summer.SJTD wrote: I'm glad this came back. I was going to search it up and ask for an update. So gh, the corplast itself sagged but you think it's because it was a little undersized and didn't have enough arch when installed?
I wonder if the lines would show through with the foam backed material.
I was thinking gluing a second layer of insulation between the cross members then gluing the board to that...ghcoe wrote:Yes.
