[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8648877, member: 650438"] my sienna roof is like yours, I just cut long planks of wood (or a full sheet of wood if your vehicle fits it, mines couldnt and i had to cut mines into planks.) and stuffed it between the crossbraces and hit it with the construction adhesive. If there's a curve at any spot, I hit it with great stuff spray foam, Make sure you cover your car in tarp or something because the foam will drip overnight. Afterwards you can hit it with the heat rejection material, the wood and spray foam should already provide some insulation, another layer would cover you pretty well. Tools needed, either a skill saw or jigsaw. Giant crowbar (to put in place to just help open the cross braces up to shove the wood in, dont be afraid of the bar's seperating, they can take a lot of force, shove that wood in.) I started shoving the wood into the braces from the rear to front, make sure you go through each brace, they literally help keep your wood in place so the adhesive has time to cure. If you have to break the long wood plank in two because its too long and its hard to fit through the crossbraces, make sure you fully glue the two wood pieces and make it fully adhere with each other, i'd use pl 8x for this because that stuff is basically concrete.
