Headliner insulation?

[CUDAHAWK]

Any ideas on a quality headliner insulation out there?

Good question, I would like to know that too...:roll::roll:

I know it's not "factory correct" but I put a layer of Hush Mat sound deadener under my new headliner. I cleaned the steal real well, and stuck on a good layer. Can't say whether it works work a damn cause the car has been on jack stands for a year and a half!! I figured it couldn't hurt.

I used Hush Mat in the Demon (roof, floor, package tray, doors, and quarter panels below rear windows). It worked great for reducing noise, rattles, and heat. I know this is true because I drove my Demon before I put in the Hush Mat, carpet and rear seat and it was hot and noisy.

Hush Mat worked for me. I used metal tape (hvac) on the seams
so it wouldn't try to peal back when it's real hot. And yes it
worked well in the heat.

Thanks to Redfastback for the tip on the metal tape

Check out the link in my signature to my build thread and you can see what I used.

Worked great!

I used RAAMmat. Aside from gluing fiberglass back in, any quality sound deadener should work. Just need to be confident that heat won't release it to fall down. A "clean" surface would be inportant.

I used a product called FATMAT. Its similar to Dynamat, a little less expensive and is super sticky. I don't think heat will be an issue.

My looking at replacing the head liner in my 1971 Duster, how difficult is it to replace and what is the procedure. Did a search on replacing head liner but didn't find anything.

Thanks

I have some pics here: http://70duster440.com/reassembly.html (scroll down)

Mostly requires time and patience. Easier if glass and trim is out but not required.
