Yes. Home Depot. RUSTOLIUM plastic 2 in 1.
RockinMarine... Your headliner looks amazing. What color did you use since it looks like a perfect match. Can you give an update on how the paint has performed over the last several months? Thanks!

These are awesome, had them in my 2015 JKU.
Easy install, with the sound assassin strips and the side walls.
Being in FL, these made a noticeable difference in weather and noise reduction.
Highly recommend.

Wouldn't it be better to have a solution with sound proofing material that covers the entire underside of the top and not just the grooves?

When will you guys decide to ship to the U.S. Virgin Islands? I was so excited to order this and then when i choose Virgin islands on the shipping cost calculator I get the dreaded "we don't ship to this location" message :-(( So many jeep owners down here would love this product! You can PM me if you would like to arrange something for the thousands of jeeps here!

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to take a minute to introduce Hothead Headliners to the JL forum members even though I see there has already been a decent amount of talk about us on this forum. We are a small American company that takes pride in offering the best headliners we can make and even more pride in providing exceptional customer support. If you've been wondering about our headliners or some of the others we have some informative videos on our web site where I show how ours and others are constructed. It's so hard to tell exactly what your'e looking at from just a picture.
Here is a link to our web site: Hothead Headliners
If you have any questions please email or give us a call:

best regards,
Mark

Installed these headliners along with the sound assassin strips into our JLU and they are absolutely great. Well worth the investment from a sound standpoint. We'll have to wait until we head down to Death Valley early next year to see how they do in sun and heat, but I can't imagine they'll be anything short of awesome.

Mark,

I called you regarding a headliner for my sky one touch top. I took pictured and can send them to you. I am trying to make something using some hardboard, foam and moving blankets. My wife will doing the sewing and I think I am going to do a piece that goes over the front seats and then a piece over the rear seats.

Just so the foum knows, the sky one touch top is great. If you get a Thule cargo box though, the wind noise is brutal at freeway speed. I tried moving the cargo box around and having it more towards the back helps a bit. The thule faring helps a little too. I am going to make a removable headliner that uses velcro around the roll cage. Then I am using hardboard for sturdiness and it can rest on the middle rollbar ledge and a small ledge on the front roof.

I still would love something made my a professional but I will do my best.

I ordered and can’t wait for a warmish day to install. I had a Sahara with factory and will be able to compare.

Working on installing mine right now. Going slow as I get a warm day and run the heater for a while, doing a section at a time. Had a question today and called Mark’s cell. Answered right away and answered my question. You can’t get any better service than that. Keep doing what your doing, the Jeep community appreciates it.

I always recommend to paint or rhino line about 1" into the recessed areas before installing the headliners. Once the headliners are installed no more white and the headliners will stick directly to the hard top with no interference from the paint or rhino lining.
Happy to see this being rehashed/expanded with more coverage from the Forum ! I had Bookmarked 'HotHead' last week and look forward to "the Day" ! This Idea of the Paint or Rhino the border I hadn't thought of (yet) - but it certainly would solve that issue, if it were an issue for some, NICE ! If I may be a bit bold -- I was investigating, in the Interior section, and the Thread on "black shading" the windows for sleeping purposes ! I went to YouTube to watch the Video of the man with the ingenious idea of "How To" make His Insulated black out Inserts for the JL Windows . Very Cool ! May I suggest to 'HotHead' to come up with HIS Idea for accomplishing the Same goal ! IF He were to take this on - perhaps making it possible to expand his small Company (a good thing), AND if the same Quality and Functionality were evident . . . well needless to say, I could guarantee at least one SALE (make that 2 with the Headliners) ;) :like: ! Seriously though, HotHead should check out that video and a few others shown in a general YouTube search and "Go From Their" ! I bet MANY of us here at the Forum would be very Interested, especially the ones who DO GO OFF ROAD to CAMP & OverLand . . . etc. like me ! Perhaps you've already gave it thought ?
Any one else ready to commit on "window shades" that Insulate too ?

hi, aside from the roof box making loads of noise, how would rate the sky top for normal noise etc etc against the 3pcs or the soft top?
would you get it again given the chance ?

Hi,
you do not have to remove the hard top, but you should remove the two front freedom panels to install those.
The sound assassin strips do under the headliner panels into the small 2" grooves.
We don't have a picture of the lighter color headliners in the JL but here are some in a JK. I hope that helps.
regards,
Mark

The front panel sitting on the seat is the Lt Beige which is the closest color we can get to the Heritage Tan leather.
