Just adding to the content of this thread for search purposes.  If anyone wants to know what the inside of the front clearance lights look like on +/- 1999 U320 here you go.  This also shows their wire duct taped to the fiberglass behind the infamous "foam" insulation (that literally falls apart when you touch it), as well as the airline for the horns that is flapping in the breeze.  This is part of my pulling everything out, sorting and redoing.  That is another thread...

CB,
 
You are at least one step ahead of me. I have the backs off the upper cabinets and am looking at that THICK, ugly, black, disintegrating, flaking, fragile, dirty, falling-apart, procrastinator-causing, OEM insulation. How did you get it out without spreading it throughout your coach? And how did you get the fiberglass area so clean-looking? Inquiring minds want to know!
 
Thanks,
 
Trent

CB, I took polyurethane and used it to hold the wires in place then put new duct tape over the poly until it set up

Trent, I was as careful as I could be getting the large pieces out then took a wire brush and removed the residue off fiberglass
after that a lot of vacuuming with a shop vac

I taped a plastic bag to the bottom of the cabinets and gently pulled the junk apart and out a piece at a time.... slowly.  And I used a Festool HEPA vac several times to make sure that I was getting it all.  Then I used the HEPA vac with a crevice tool and scraped the fiberglass.  Frankly, most of it had already come off.  Then I tested the surface with three small pieces of Noico sound pads.  It stuck great no matter how super clean the surface was.  So I moved forward with the next step - Sound and heat insulation for front end cap
