Coverking Topliner

[Graceme123]

Has anyone tried the Coverking Topliner for their jeep yet. I like the look of it and was hoping for some feedback before purchasing. Here is a link to the YouTube video I found.

It looks awfully thin to me, especially compared to a Hothead headliner, which is only around $100 more (with the Labor Day discount). Hotheads get great reviews.
If you're just going for looks, the Coverking looks great. The Coverking looks like they way it should come from the factory. For better insulation, I'd go Hotheads.

This just came up as a Facebook ad in my feed. I was also going to ask. It definitely looks thin, but sure does improve the look of the white hardtop.

I saw the same ad today. Weird. It looks like there is a lot more work involved with the Coverking liners than the Hothead liners. The Coverking liner appears to cover 100% of the hardtop but is substantially thinner than the Hotheads. I imagine Coverking might provide better sound deadening since it does cover the entire hardtop.

Someone needs to try this out. The one thing i hate about the Jeep is the white inside

Hey Heather:

Part of any headliner owner's appreciation for the product they bought, I believe, is going into the purchase with clear expectations.

Headliners excel, some more than others, at addressing visual appearance and climate control: particularly reducing summer heat. If sound abatement is your thing, headliners will help but it's not the product's main benefit.

That's why I put a sunshade under the hardtop. Does a surprisingly good job at darkening the inside.

I was just looking at this too based on a Facebook ad. It is interesting to me as I’d like to improve the interior appearance, but not interested in a home make paint job that wouldn’t look professional enough to me.

Someone with a YouTube channel should reach out to them and offer to do an installation video and review in exchange for a free or deeply discounted one!

That is a fairly reasonable price too, someone take the plunge and do a review! I know some of y'all have spare money to throw around.

Was going to pull the trigger but the adhesive strips in the back seat section don't look like it will hold it up for long.

I would definitely be interested in checking this out. I have not seen this brand before for the Wrangler.

Just ordered this today, got a good black Friday deal. Takes a week or two to make and ship. I'll post my experience with it after the install. Northridge 4x4 and coverking both make install videos. As to if the adhesive strips will hold, I can always use 3m vhb tape if the included starts to fail.

It works great so far. Been in for about 3 weeks in ours, and the gel tape they use holds fine, but I did add some additional VHB tape in a few areas where there are some gaps in the way it is attached - around rear glass over the tailgate is a prime example where it needed more adherence. Overall, it is quieter, and in the south Florida sun it keeps the inside surface cooler to the touch - not sure if it is really keeping any more heat out of the interior, but the Jeep AC handles the heat fine anyway. The improvement of the appearance is dramatic and that was the primary reason for my interest in it anyway.

Good to hear. I figured worst case scenario I could cut out portions of coverking in the freedom panels and add hot heads later. Those made a big difference in my jk here in arizona, but hopefully cover king will deal with some of that radiating heat from above.

How thin would you say the material is? I am installing a rhino rack back bone system and need to drill through hard top in a few spots. I will probably cut out holes where I need to drill.

Over all, I'm excited to get rid of that cheap Styrofoam cooler material look the current white underside has. The jk had a much better look and finish on the interior hard top than jl imho.

I would paint and get hot heads if I could stand a paint smell for God knows how long. But from the images , i think the coverking looks great
