So I've bought the Selkirk precut foam for the ceiling and their flap tunnel. I've searched the forum on the few folks that have installed both but wanted to ask again if anyone had any hints or suggestions when installing both. Has anyone used something other than the 3M adhesive and gotten better results, etc? My new airtex interior is on its way to so want to get the fiberglass dust out of the way prior to installing it.
Thanks!

Re: Interior refurb questions
Great! i've done the same on mine recently. i can only recommend to make small changes and continually refit. the Selkirk Tunnel doesn't fit all that well ... it too tight in some spots and doesn't completely follow the contour of the metal. it just takes a bunch of time to fit it well.
i haven't done the foam yet on mine so i'll be listening for suggestions on that. i think guys have used a different adhesive for the roof than the side.
what thickness did you get?
post up some pics too if you get around to it.

It may have take a bunch of time, it was worth it as it looks great, so clean and light weight!swixtt wrote:Great! i've done the same on mine recently. i can only recommend to make small changes and continually refit. the Selkirk Tunnel doesn't fit all that well ... it too tight in some spots and doesn't completely follow the contour of the metal. it just takes a bunch of time to fit it well.
