I'm not too worried about using the craft foam on my GTI. VR6's run relatively hot, and the doors never touch the actual heater core. I agree that $350 is a little bit too much. I've had this on my car (daily driver) since January and nothing has burned/melted (no strange odors). http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2301864 Good luck with whatever you decide. I know how frustrating this can be. Ryan --- Roger Sisler <rogersisler2000@YAHOO.COM> wrote: > Well, I looked at the pickup camper top foam. It is > about 1 1/4 inch wide > and has a sticky backing.
