Question on roof insulation (inside headliner)

Hi all:

Hoping for some guidance here. After removing my headliner, I found the old insulation on the inside of the roof to be - well, "less than desirable" - so I renoved it in hopes of replacing it with superior/new material.

For anyone that has pulled and installed a new headliner themselves, WHAT types of insulation/sources have they used to replace the old insulation? Thanks!!

I used Peel & Seal after I cleaned/prep/painted with 2 coats of Rust Bullet.

I used Dynamat.

 

I'm gonna be using the Peel and Seal this week.. I got it all preped and intended to go to Lowes but it's 25 miles away so I decided to wait till I needed more stuff while I'm there..
If you need Upholstery Trim and or supplies, try American Trim & Upholstery Supply, L.L.C. I got my vinyl top and glue from them.

Isn't a lot of that old headliner insulation asbestose?

 

Asbestos, not in a Maverick.

 

I was planning on using a radiant barrier, woven cotton kind of material. Like this: http://www.bondedlogic.com/construction-products/ultratouch-radiant-barrier
I didn't know so many are using peel and seal... I figured it was more for noise suppression rather than heat reflectance.

 

Exactly......to clarify, I have already applied FatMat Rattletrap extreme, but I was hoping to add another layer of material for heat reflectance as well. Was wondering what people were doing along those lines.

I used 1/4 inch foam glued to the roof. It came from a appolstery shop

 

If you know anyone that does Heating and Cooling work, they will probably sell you a piece of the insulation that goes on the inside of metal ductwork. About 1/2" thick. Worked great on my Maverick!
