Hotheads Sky One-Touch headliner installed

[Tx_Wrangler]

I just installed the Hot Head liner in Black on my rig, installation was simple enough following the video instructions. I got it mainly to help with the Texas heat. Noise isn't a big deal, I wasn't expecting a quiet ride in a jeep.

Nice, so the main purpose of this is to make it quieter inside from road/wind noise?

Also warmer in winter and cooler in summer with the top closed.

I don't mean to high-jack the thread but what is everyone putting on their Sky One-Touch top to protect it? Aerospace 303 Fabric Protection? Like this.

Is the Sky One Touch + Hotheads quieter than the hard top? I have the hard top with liners, and it is still on the noisy side. Wonder if the SOT is better, worse or the same, as I'm thinking about getting a new JLUR soon.

We had a ‘21 JLU Rubicon hardtop and have a ‘24 Rubicon X 4Xe with SOT. The hardtop is definitely quieter. Installed the Hotheads mesh screen and liner which helped a bit and looks great.

Using my iPhone decibel app it registers 79-83 db in the 65-75 mph range at the dash.

Going with, there are no stupid questions - just answers... Are you using this product on a Sky One Touch? Looking to get a product on mine before summer hits and the Colorado sun starts beating it. Thanks...

Yes, on the twill portion of the top. I apply it about twice a year due to the NV sun. I still don't have any water spots or leaks in the winter either.

Sounds great! Thanks for you reply...

That's fair, but It's not the twill that's the issue for leaks. It's the seals around it.

I'm not suggesting that cleaning and sealant applications of the twill isn't worthwhile for prolonging it's life. I'm just saying that the seals around it are going to be an issue long before the twill fails.

I have one tiny leak that's developed and I've narrowed it down to a predictable spot of being where two seal strips meet at the front corner. Unfortunately winter isn't the best time to address it.
