REC Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Based on a discussion with the local trim shop there is nothing up there. I'll be looking into this soon too. Roland C. Happily Transiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTCPNW Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Based on a discussion with the local trim shop there is nothing up there. I'll be looking into this soon too. Roland C. Happily Transiting 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
