Anyone tried replacing bad foam on inside of tupperware/panels? What's best to use?

[steve636]

Hello, has anyone replaced the deteriorating foam on the inside of the tupperware panels with replacement foam, or the foam with the aluminum foil? My foam is falling off, was wondering if I should replace it with a foam sound deadening/heat shield, or would it be better to go with a foam with the aluminum foil for sound deadening and maybe better heat shielding? Or any other ideas? Thanks.

I have, and used this along with Air Condition duct silver tape: So far so good: https://a.co/d/0fWzZen (July 2024). I only did the two "knee panels" (the ones under your knees; one of them covers the oil filter).

Note, it is a pain to remove the old stuff! Goo gone and mineral spirits is what I used. Bike does sound different (quieter, or more muffled) now.

I just ordered some, based on your post

Best of luck. BTW, first, I scrapped off everything I could with a putty knife. I do recall one section being loose, and I could simply peel it away, adhesive and all, which was nice. Feel free to DM me if you want. I think I may have pics around, maybe in the "What did you do to your Spyder today?" thread.
