Thread: Inner roof material?

Tweet

It's sound deadener, and since it's between a brace and the roof skin probably for rattle proofing. You can reattach to a cleaned surface with a good grade of adhesive.........construction adhesive might be more economical than the spray 3M.

A light weight alternative I've used is a material available in any home supply store (Home Depot, Lowe's, etc). It's a bubble wrap like product with aluminum "foil" on both sides. Excellent sound proofing and heat reflection. Nice and light weight so it doesn't need a lot of adhesive.

Excellent suggestion Uncle Bob! I'll have to look into that foil/bubble stuff.

What do you mean by construction adhesive? Is that the stuff in the tube you apply with a caulking gun, for wood adhesive? I wonder how that works with the inside temps of a vehicle in the summer? I like the idea of saving a buck as that 3M #90 is plenty expensive. If I have enough left over after gluing my new headliner on I may still go the 3M route.
