headliner insulation

[moparfanatic56]

I purchased new headliner insulation for my 72 dart and there were only 2 pieces in the package. I need to know if there is supposed to be insulation for the two sides that go from the roof to the package tray area (see picture) and of there is what or where can I get it or should I use 1/2 in foam.
Thanks

Those are covered by something called a Sail Panel. I don't recall seeing replacement insulation for that area but you certainly could cut something to put there or use dynamat.

No sail panels there, he has bow/cloth type headliner. I just removed headliner from '72 Scamp and there was no insulation in that area on mine.

Good point. Only the cardboard headliner had sail panels?

As recommended though, a product like Dyna mat is really the way to go. Much better heat and sound insulation.

I did a little research and there are cardboard panels that go back there.

Found this picture on this site. 1970 Dart.Somebody must have pulled them out of mine before I got it (headliner was all tore up/ hanging down ).

I did my whole roof with Kilmat. No worries about absorbing and retaining moisture and causing rust like the original or reproduction material.

We POR 15'd everything and are retrofitting in a later year one piece ( three piece with sails ) headliner.
