Hard top interior insulation

[M1031CMT]

I tried a dozen different search terms through the search engine but came up empty. I also tried google but didn't come up with it either. Which is odd, as the search engine here is pretty good compared to most forums.

I am looking for the vinyl-covered insulation that goes inside the hard top's. I read a thread a week or two ago where someone bought the stuff to install in their hard-top, but I forgot to bookmark that thread. And naturally now that I need it, I can't find that thread.

When I got into one of the deuces today and slammed the door closed, several pieces of vinyl covering the insulation fell out and the insulation under it came out in an almost dust-consistency. Looks like some mice got in there during the winter and chewed it all up. I need to rip out what is left and put some new stuff in there.

Anyone know where I can pick some up?

Looks like this (when not chewed up):

Use the military sleeping mats, they are cheap, easy to cut and look original.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a couple old one sitting around. Might looking into it if the other stuff doesn't pan out.

Think I found my answer. Was just looking in the deuce sections, but someone posted a link to the stuff in the 5ton section.

Is this stuff: Cab Insulation

Does any one have a good source to buy it from? I know it can be hard to buy from manufacturers who want you to buy a huge roll of the stuff when I just need enough for 1-2 trucks.

I used 3 layers of aluminum bubble insulation sold at Home Depot Stores. Bought 2 rolls of 24" by 25'.

That's a good idea. Probably be a lot cheaper than ordering the other stuff too.

I use the 77 glue in a can. Also aluminum tape to connect the insulation in the round corners.

I picked up two of the military sleeping mats for my cab redo jobs.

Used the sleeping bag mats for both my deuce hardtops. I put them in using Weldwood contact cement ( gell formula )
