John try what is called hardware cloth. It's a little stiffer that
screen door screen but not as heavy or as hard to work with as chicken
wire. You might want to cut it an inch or two short of the edge of the
insulation all the way around. Hope this helps.

I wonder if I could buy some metal screen (like for a screen door) and
attach it to the insulation with spray mount. I think if it were stiffer
it would stay in place. Maybe I'll go with chicken wire since it's an El
Camino
:)

What's the insulation really for anyway? Sound or heat? I'm guessing
primarily sound (engine noise).

Thanks,
