Bulk head fabric covering

[V12diablo]

Has anyone replaced or reinstalled the fabric covering the bulkhead. Ours was loose and the insulation behind it had come off and fell to the bottom of the fabric. I peeled it off but I’m not sure what I should use for a insulation if any, prior to reinstalling the fabric, any ideas?

Use foam backed vinyl. Dry fit. The foam should be 1/4" thick. Clean area with a wire wheel to prevent transfer. The foam also helps from preventing transfer. Vacumme, then use 3M spray adhesive, on bulk head and on the foam backed vinyl. Fit on bulk head with the palm of your hand. You can peel it back up several times before it sets. Follow instructions on can. Use 3M adhesive clean up to wipe up over spray.

Thanks, that is a great idea, it seems all the insulation has come loose in the forward birth, so I will be doing that for the complete front. I could use the existing fabric for patterns.

For the adhesive look specifically for 3M foam fast. It’s made for upholstery foam and fabric. There are other 3M spray adhesives, but that one works best.
You can also use any fabric and apply the upholstery foam to the fabric, then the wall.
Time to get creative with what you can use. It’s really not hard, just think it all the way through first.

My wife found matching vinyl at Joann Fabrics. Use the 3m foam adhesive.

Before you replace anything, you need to find out where the water came from. Looks like you have or had a pretty good leak and some mold to eliminate.
