I propped up the padding and injected polyurethane foam behind it. Driving
now for 2 years with no loosening, I'm real pleased with the results. Messy
though during application, wear expendable clothes and cover your hair. Once
you inject don't move the padding or it collapses the foam. After it hardens
you can remove the props.

Couldn't comment on the flammability though, this is a diesel.
