A method of insulating a structural frame member of a transport vehicle is provided. The method includes coupling a first end of at least one flexible insulation member to one of at least two self-retaining foam insulation members using a coupling element. The method includes wrapping the at least one flexible insulation member over a first free end of the structural frame member of the transport vehicle and over at least portions of two sides of the structural frame member. The method further includes positioning one of the self-retaining foam insulation members on each side of the wrapped structural frame member and in compression fit between each side of the wrapped structural frame member and adjacent structural frame members, such that the self-retaining foam insulation members impart one or more compression forces on the flexible insulation member to secure the flexible insulation member in place without use of any fastener device.
