Tailgate Insulation Advice

[v700ste]

Hi,

I have a T6 which has been lined but not insulated. This is something I want to do In future. Short term, I want to do something to the tailgate to insulate especially the glass. I have a bed frame in the back of the van and when using that, the bedding touches the glass and that obviously causes damp quilt etc. the rear glass is total blackout and therefore I don’t use the rear demister so not bothered about sticking something to the glass. Just after some ideas so I don’t get a wet pillow!!!

Pic of the bed frame attached to try and show the setup and the issue.

A tailgate glass external screen from Silverscreens would solve that. I got one last year to match the front screen one. Works beautifully

Heat and ventilate, no matter how good the insulation is it won’t maintain the glass and exposed steel body above dew point overnight in UK winter.
