Anyone know of a good insulation/sound deadener that can be used on a roof? I live in AZ, so heat will be an issue. Thanks Michael

You can get EZ Cool insulation in various sizes from here and glue it to the ceiling with contact cement like I did. Works great. http://www.lobucrod.com/ Old Henry (The older I get, the better old looks.)

I used this insulation in my '41 coupe and doors. I lived in Ca. at the time. It made a very noticeable difference. It is easy to install and has been in the car for years with no problem

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm most concerned with the heat causing the insulation to peel away from the roof. The adhesive will need to be able tot withstand extreme conditions.

If you are replacing the fabric portion of the top anyway, your insulation will be on top of the slats, stapled securely around the perimeter so no way it would fall down onto the headliner. Use the insulation material in place of the cotton batting just under the black vinyl. Did the same treatment on my 1925 Model T Fordor and worked great. TerryP

I too lived in a very warm area and needed the extra insulation in my restorations. I use the foiled bubble pack that comes in rolls. (1/4" Bubble pack with tin foil on both sides) I contact cement it into the entire inside of the body, roof and even the floor. It is a radiant heat shield the stops the transfer from the hot exterior to the interior. With a black insert in most roofs and darks body colors, the heat build up is awful. On the floor it helped stop the radiant heat from the 140 degree pavement. In south Florida it made a world of difference and made the body quieter too. 1934 Ford's since 1972 This message was edited by 1934 Ford on 4-5-13 @ 6:53 PM
