70 Cuda Vapor Barrier Installation
« on: October 02, 2016 - 02:14:36 PM »
When I bought my car 15 years ago the plastic vapor barriers were missing.  I recently bought a vapor barrier kit from Performance Care Graphics and I am planning on installing it next weekend. 

For the most part the installation seems pretty straight forward but in reading the instructions it sounds like maybe the putty does not go all around the outer edges of the plastic.  It sounds like some areas of the plastic are actually taped down (they included a roll of black tape in the kit).

Can someone post some pictures showing how these were installed from the factory? I'm trying to figure out where the putty goes and where the tape goes. 

-Thanks

Thanks for the picture.  That is interesting that the top is not puttied, I would have thought maybe the bottom would have not.

It will be interesting to see some pictures from other cars to see how consistent these barriers where from car to car.

Anyone else want to post some picts of their Cuda's vapor barriers?  I'm just looking to see if there was any differences between cars and years.
