What goes above a headliner?

[jeryst]

Does any type of insulation go above the headliner on a 73 Cuda? If so, what is it, and where can I get it?

I didn't have anything in mine when I restored it.

IIRC, there was some sort of jute padding attached to the roof of my 70 Challenger.  When I restore the headliner, I'm going to put something like Dynamat on to help deaden any noise from the roof.  I remember driving around in the NW rain w/o any headliner on and it was very noisy.

yeah you can use felt or jute or dynamat above the headliner , usually mice go above the headliner though

I used sound deadener/ heat insulator ...

[miketyler]

Yup - I used Dynamat but think there was some other type of cheap insulation from the factory.

year one has a head liner insulation kit. I am sure others sell it as well.

thats what I used.....

I've seen spray-on sound deadener in some auto parts stores. Does anyone know if that stuff works? I wouldn't mind spraying that stuff around the various cavities to make things a little quieter if it works. It could be used with regular insulation to make things even quieter.

Convertibles wouldn't.

Bought one as well when I did my headliner. originally it is just a light just type padding. The year one "kit" is just some pillow type white padding precut to fit.
Fairly cheap I recall, but not much to it and it would make excellent mice bedding. I'd vote dynamat or something similar if I did it again.

Do they make any insulation that repels mice?

There's a nice idea to start your own company with.

    The only insulation above my headliner was the stuffing from the rear seat that the mice brought up there.

My 72 cuda had a jute type pad/insulation up there.  Found that out when the headliner stitching let loose on a seam as I was going down the road with the windows open - I was suddenly covered in the stuff.
