Is the roof insulated?

Based on a discussion with the local trim shop there is nothing up there. I'll be looking into this soon too.

I pulled out the ceiling light and it appears there isn't insulated, or at least there is room for more.

I do plan on insulating the doors, walls and even the floor, but obviously insulating the roof is the side where the most heat is exchanged.

I think I will end up not using the factory roof liner. I want to add a small vent and install some ceiling mounts so that thing needs to come out anyway. I'm just always reluctant to disassemble a perfectly good and new vehicle because often there is no going back.

For insulation I found closed cell foam wrapped in aluminum foil, it's intended for metal building so I think it will be perfect because it is insect and moisture proof as well as having a high r value.

Another concept I had for a vent would be less destructive to the body. Basically I would use the accessory light slot on the drivers side rear door and make a hole on the inside of the door. I think it would be less likely to leak easier to install, and less permeant if it wasn't wanted.

i dropped the headliner to install bars for my dry clean business

Dan,

Is there anything you can share about your delivery van for your drycleaning business? I run one in upstate NY and am considering trading in my Chevy Express for a TransitConnect and would really appreciate your input and help! Thanks so much in advance!
