    Or do what i did...

    Go to home depot or lowes. Pull all panels in sleeper and use spray on foam kit. Cost me bout $300. TAPE UP EVERYTHING for overspray and get tyvec suit with hood and RESPIRATOR. Do it all in one day. Use guitar string to trim flat or really long knife. Touch n foam was what i used. Very simple, but make SURE you're within the temps to spray it

    I think he's talking about the blue or pink styrofoam insulation panels that can be bought from Lowe's and Home Depot. It makes great floatation foam for boats also. Lol.

    Yep, that's it. So you used 2 layers meaning it needs to be 1in think correct? I know they make this stuff in different thicknesses.

    1" is what my truck needed. There were some tight places that 1/2" is all I could get in.

    Update from the Dealer. They found the nut inside loose. They said it was only hand tighten and some kinda of plate/spacer was missing.. Everything was in good shape just not tight.. Time to go after loves to have them pay for this repair cuz i already know its not gonna be cheap.

    Make sure they have that documented exactly on the paperwork that it was only hand tight So that Loves cannot wiggle their way out of it
