Default Frost king

I went with Frost King duct insulation in my wife's car and it made a huge difference. Foil on one side, adhesive on the other. Only about 1/8" thick so no problem reinstalling your panels.
I put it on the tunnel of my Corvette and it's not burning up anymore. This fall, I'm going to put on the interior and back.
Don't use the Peel N Seal because it has asphalt in it.

I've searched a lot and saw that Frost King is used to quiet the noise in private planes. Good enough for me.

Where did you buy the FrostKing adhesive backed? I've been to Lowes and HomeDepot looking for the adhesive backed version and they look at me like I have 3 heads...

I installed the BlockIt kit in my C5 convertible and am very pleased with it. Much easier to have a conversation with my wife now or to enjoy music with the top up or down.

Always bought at Lowes (last month- $20 each roll) or Home Depot. Did you look on their sites?
Amazon has it too.
