I am going to be installing a new head liner in my 64 Valiant 4 door sdn. The car is going to get AC in the future. What is the preferred material/method to insulate the roof, prior to the headliner install
How much of the roof did you cover? How many kits did it take? I want to do the roof on my Swinger.I used KilMat on mine. On the roof, floors, trunk. It works well.
I did the same as RRR, Kilmat on my D-150. I ran it as far as I could get it up the firewall, did all of the floor, and up the back of the cab to just under the rear window. It took about a box and a half so I'd guess something similar for roof coverage on your Dart.How much of the roof did you cover? How many kits did it take? I want to do the roof on my Swinger.
Fair, but you gotta pay to play that game

All of it. All of the floors, too. I read all about it and how you don't have to cover it all, but I did anyway. It gets hot as hades here in the summer and I wanted all the protection I could get. I believe it took three boxes if I remember right. I want to do the doors too, next.How much of the roof did you cover? How many kits did it take? I want to do the roof on my Swinger.
That doesn't interest me in the least. I went by the best reviews per dollar spent. Kilmat won out. Russia doesn't bother me at all. China is the one I'm concerned with. I firmly believe when all this shakes out, we're gonna find out Zelenskyy needed his *** kicked. But that's gettin off on a tangent that doesn't belong here.
100% physical proof that it WORKS.I used the same sound deadening “insulation” on the roof as I used on the floor. I believe it was Siless brand, similar to the kilmat that RRR used. I only had two sheets left, and used it more to take away the tin can sound of the roof and really didn’t expect any thermal improvement, but as you can see in the picture, it does make a difference in that area as well. The heater melted the snow off of the roof where it wasn’t insulated.

I may end up adding something like this to the roof yet before installing a headliner.

I like the idea.Lizard Skin spray on Sound control and Lizard Skin spray on Ceramic Insulation over the top of the Sound Control
