Top Insulation?
Has anyone ever insulated the removable top? I was just thinking about doing something in the back with headliner or something and wanted to see if anyone else had ideas.

I have seen pictures and put some thought to it. There is a reveal line where the top meets the inner pannel for the sides. There are also strips running side to side. I was thinking of using some 1/4 ply and covering it with headliner material. Cut it to line up with that reveal and screw it to the strips. My reason was to try to get rid of the echo and tinny sounds. It would add a little R value. You could probaly put some of the foil backed padding between the strips for a little more.

Doug: Post a picture of that. Never knew it existed. It makes sense to cover the top. I ended up sleeping in the back of our 79 one VERY cold Nov night. It got down to 15. When I woke up the next moring there was about a 1/8 inch coating of ice on the inside of the top from the vapor in my breath.
