Sorry, I forgot the top layer this morning. I have used outdoor carpet over the top layer of the reflectex. Also us the same carpet inside the cab sides and roof. Outdoor carpet stickum works well for the carpet. I have never had any come loose.
Doing the inside roof is a trick. Cut the carpet to near the right size, one piece. Then put the stickum on only one half of the inside roof. Have a piece of plywood cut to match the one side. Have some 2x4's cut as posts. Place the carpet in place and smooth out, holding the loose not glued half so it does not pull down the fresh glued side. SLip the plywood in place, put the 2x4's in place and tap them to really wedge between floor and ceiling. Call it quits for the day. By morning you can repeat the process on the other non glued side. I did it by myself, a helper would sure make it easier.
I did not worry about trapped water since the
Peel N Seal glues it tight, no place for water.
One word of caution. Before you put down the Peel N Seal, the surfsce must be clean and dry. no dust, no rust. Otherwise the Peel N Seal cant bond well. If the surface is rough, a coat of gloss paint will seal and allow a good bond.
