I suspect the foil back would work better than what was there originally. Believe several have mentioned using the stuff from home centers although don't remember the jute part of it. Ones I took apart -all non AC cars- had that embossed tar paper stuff about 1/8 thick and was more a noise or drumming dampener than insulation. Don't know if there was anything special done on AC cars. As I recall a few of the bows come very close to roof so thickness may also be an issue in spots.
