Roof Condensation

As said above, there are those plastic fir trees for fitting the headlining back on. The bubble wrap is thin enough as to not interfere with the headlining. The headlining is only secured down the sides above the doors, above the rear bulkhead and via the sun visors. You cold put as thicker stuff as you like between the headlining and roof because there are no fitting points in the middle to the roof. I was perfectly able to use my old fittings too. The spray glue was around £3 each and I used 3 cans, the roll of insulation was on offer 2 for £25 quid I think. I could have used just one roll but I doubled the thickness for added warmth. The fabric was about £20 a roll but you could get it cheaper online I think, I didn't bother to look around I wanted it done that weekend so I bought the first I came across.
 
I used noise killer in my roof, I know its expensive but it works well.

I've got photos but they are on my phone, and I only have internet on my phone too. I tried to upload some yesterday but it wasn't happening. If you have a email address, I could send you some pics then you can post them on here if you like?
 
As requested - we've replaced the roof lining with new firs. Also we've blanked off the air vents as they always seemed to be damp.

Just done my 90 with open cell foam with a silver outside and it is nice and dry and very warm and quite . Got it from Lasalle headline Co and am fitting there headliner . But E-Bay sell the same stuff at 2mx500 x12 mm for £16. Well worth doing !
 
B&Q have that bubble wrap silver backed insulation stuff in at £12 a roll. Did the back of mine out at the weekend, was going to see what's like before any fancy carpet covering.
 
Its the stuff car audio people use to cover subwoofer boxes and cover over speakers built in to parcel shelves. Its about 2-3mm thick, it stretches and shapes around contours, plus it holds its shape once formed. Great stuff to use, relatively cheap, lightweight (so It won't peel off as you apply it). Great stuff.
 
This is on the cards for the weekend, condensation on the roof & steamy windows in the chilly Fender this morning :(
Found a local place that re-trims caravans and vans etc, they sell the trimfix high temp spray, carpet they use for re-trimming, that just leaves me with getting down to homebase for some foil insulation (which is currently 25% off, and they have a 20% discount voucher online this weekend :cool: lol)
