Sail panels

[TexasEd 211]

I have fiberglass molded sail panels from Ridgerunner I’m going to install. I currently have the sail panel area cleaned up and thinking about insulation. The original sail panels have foil on the inside and the insulation was glued to the car behind it.

I’m thinking about putting Kilmat inside the sail panel against the car quarters and then gluing the sound deadening fabric to the fiberglass panel. Also probably won’t use/need the retaining clip.

Thoughts?

Shouldnt need the clip ,it locks under the window gasket ,the wind lace also goes over it and a screw from the small plastic trim piece at the quarter window goes through the sail panel into the body . You still may need the piece of foam the cardboard sail panel had on the bottom back to keep the fiberglass sail panel tight to the hockey sticks . 

The cardboard sail panels had a jute pad behind them ,that alone may sound deaden them plus keep the pushed against the hockey sticks

Thanks,  I have reproduction jute, I can’t post pictures but the new is black and stays together better than the old gray stuff.  I saved my windlace and have a new screw for that point.

I used some sticky foam about 3/16" thick in that area, but placed it on the metal, not the sail panels.  I did the LizardSkin on the interior so probably wasn't needed but it was an easy install.  I thought I had a photo, but apparently I don't.  Here is what I used:
