Fiberglass Insulation

I was reading some threads about sound deadening and came across a few posts where people stated they used that R-13 Fiberglass-type insulation for the hollow space behind the sail panel. I picked a roll up that was thermal and sound protection and noticed the wrapper said it is flammable and not to be used near sparks, blah, blah, blah or other sources of heat. I was thinking about putting it near the transmission shifter but not anymore - do you think it's even safe enough to put behind the sail panel? I don't want to risk anything. Thoughts?

fiberglass insulation does not deal well with moisture either. I would not use it.

My whole interior is Dynamated. Behind the sailpanel I used the expanding foam, window/door sealer in a can. It works pretty well and you just spray it in, in layers.

I used carpet padding. Does good with moisture and it can be removed if a get a ding in my quarterpanel and it needs fixed.
