This is the answer to your hot head.

This insulation is almost an inch thick and effectively eliminates the heat radiated from above here in the Deep South. Before installation, the air conditioning had to be turned up to the maximum so that the heat still radiates from above to the head. , Once installed, the air conditioner can be operated at minimum speed all day long. Advantages * The cut-outs match the roof contour exactly and installation is easy. not profiled. Small note - the front parts of the hatch have cutouts for some twistlocks and not others. While this doesn't affect their function (rotating), it's illogical to make cutouts for some and not others. Note that the top will need to be removed to install the middle panel as the insulation runs between the top and the soundbar. It is not possible to move the mat into this limited space with the adhesive backing showing. It is also VERY IMPORTANT to position carefully before letting it touch the surface as the adhesive is very aggressive like tape when grabbing and holding. As soon as he grabs it, he's there. This is a recent installation, so there is no data on the adhesive's long-term performance in hot weather. I will update if it doesn't work.
