Closing gap between baffle and top plate kickstarter | Posted in General Questions on March 1, 2026 01:25pm Really stumped by this. I have a handful of attic baffles that were installed as shown below. There is a large gap between the bottom of the baffle and the top plate. Air is moving through the soffit and through the fiberglass insulation, drastically dropping the R value. Any tips on how to cover this gap? The space is tight since its at the edge of a trey ceiling.
