Hi all,
I am getting close to installing the ceiling in my 4106 and I have a question on what foam backing to use.
I plan to glue foam to the plywood and them glue vinyl to the foam I have done this before when making door panels for street rods, but I am worried about what density of foam for the ceiling as I don't want it to seperate or come off.
Can anyone reccommend what type to use, and where to purchase it in large rolls?
Thanks

I used landau foam 1/4 or 5/16 thick. It is dense and does a very nice job.Easy to handle and install using landau glue.Been on for 3 years with no problems. It's available at fabric or upholstry places. Marc |

You can buy vinyl with 1/4" foam already attached. Comes in 54 " wide rolls and as long as you want. About 8.00 sq yd wholesale, google it and good luck. |

Glue the foam to the plywood but don't glue the vinyl to the plywood it will wrinkle when you pull the vinyl tight. I used 1/2" foam on the ceiling.
