I’ve been a Jeep owner for 10 years and can not understand why something like this isn’t standard on them all

[@homeytube1]

Or at least a factory option.

[@nikalasrealistius4455]

because this is american tractor 🚜

[@nikalasrealistius4455]

buy bmw x5 its super smooth or cayenne there is tons of stock insulations under neath, wrangler reminds me soviet unian yaz very good at off rd maybe even better then rubicon

[@EddiTaru]

@@nikalasrealistius4455 a lot better. We put them against rubicon, and surprisingly it did better than rubicon.

[@EddiTaru]

Jeep is like Idea furniture. You buy it, assemble and make it better. Why isn't this installed from factory is beyond me.

[@StevenTrujillo08]

I would like to see this from the factory! I’m not a fan of the exposed white

[@00ninja00]

Got that right! Jeep sell us a $55k vehicle and leave so much things unfinished!! At least give us carpet on the tops, and plastic door sill pieces, all other trucks have these minimal finishes. When we add headliners and door sill plastic covers, they look like they’re stuff that should’ve came from factory! Come on Jeep, seriously you milk us for every nickel and dime!!

[@mj-np9sy]

I paid for the headliner package on my rubi ($500 I think) and it's PATHETIC. I tell everyone to not buy it. I've literally had the panels come unglued and they are SO thin, basically a thin layer of some recycled cardboard like material with some automotive carpeting literally glued on with some hot glue. Not adhesive tape or anything. The Hot Heads headliner is so, so, so much better. I'm unfamiliar with this Coverking one. It actually looks as thin as the OEM but but I'm sure it's not. At least it covers the entire thing.

[@StevenTrujillo08]

I have the headliner package on mine and I agree with everyone! Jeep should have made their headliner option like this. I’m sure they would have WAY more people purchasing this option if it came like this!

The great installation process for this product. It's a keeper as this will absorb the sounds and keep the inside of the Jeep cooler. Great video 📼.

[@MrSeshy]

That looks amazing and very functional as well, two thumbs up for sure! :-) Like others have stated, "Why the heck is this not a standard or at the very least an option on Jeeps from the factory?"

[@northridgenation]

Our thoughts exactly!

[@GruntHarley]

For the price they charge for one of these jeeps this should have been standard.

[@EddiTaru]

Exactly. It's redicilous. Even the Rubicon and Mojave don't have these.

[@eddieperedo4945]

look so good and easy to install

[@jamesmerkel9442]

I don't like blk but system seem great. Need old school velour outside covering as well to help w/ heat & custom flare as well.

[@northridgenation]

Velour? That's old school right there. How about some tuck and roll too?

[@shawnmcandrew6923]

3m adhesion promoter helps. Especially if you live in a hot climate over time the adhesive can start to loosen.

[@northridgenation]

Nice tip!

[@mikefatheads]

could you elaborate on where the 3m product could help?

[@shawnmcandrew6923]

@@mikefatheads increases the bond and hold of the tape

[@farim7881]

This style is the best. However, during the summer the heat from the roof melted the glue and the top liner comes lose. So I had it reglued with the heat glue i did it my self.

[@northridgenation]

We haven't seen that yet, we'll keep an eye out this summer. Thanks for sharing!

[@farim7881]

@@northridgenation Northridge4x4 Yes we were in Vegas, and the car was parked outside all the time, the heat was extreme, my friend also parked outside that time he drove a SUV 4Runner and his car had a insulation / sound deadening material installed before the factory headliner. Maybe he got the very cheap stuffs you know the black one like asphalt type. And that thing melted like hell, he got to replace with the new factory headliner. But your product adhesive needs extra stronger adhesive. Once I replaced the glue with the 3M double tape extra hold the 11Kg strength. But they still fell off, so I had to use the heat glue to make it sort of permanent, but the heat glue adhesive can be pulled off no problem and cleaned up with adhesive remover but they are stucked on the head liner. Well I'm just sharing my review. But dont get me wrong once your headliner are installed, they are awesome. Becaue this headliner covers all the ceiling.

[@ValentineCrescent]

@@farim7881 so which glue do you suggest I should use to make sure it doesn't melt off?

[@farim7881]

@@ValentineCrescent This is my only suggestion: just use the glue tape that comes from the factory, but add somemore "Scotch or 3M double tape extra strong" and put some heat glue the adhesive type that uses special heat gun to melt the glue. And just put this heat glue on several spots like dots on the top and side. Do not use this glue all over, just enough on several spots for support. This should be ok. And let it settle down. Don't apply this adhesive during extreme hot or cold.

[@ValentineCrescent]

@@farim7881 how was your experience with the installation, was it difficult? were there a lot adjustments that needed to be made? also did you do it alone o?

[@jram7047]

I was really mad until I found them for the jku ...

[@dustingibson2407]

How strong is the adhesive? Some thoughts I have after watching this were, adding some aluminum backed noise dampner underneath, and maybe sticking the factory headliner to this for a quieter, finished look.

[@northridgenation]

It is stickier than all get out. We didn't try to pull the liner out after it set-up, though our guess is it would be tough. Go for it, any extra insulation would only help more.

[@tonybolte02]

I did this. I used Kilmat and covered the entire top. I did buy the roller set from Amazon. Then installed the top. It fit like a glove. Very quiet as i use hands free and its as quiet as a car. Also, at 50 degrees down the highway with the heat off, I didn't need a jacket.

[@-JeepinJason-]

@@tonybolte02 How did it stick to the Kilmat? Also, how many square feet of Kilmat did you use?

[@tonybolte02]

@@-JeepinJason- it is working awesome! I ordered two boxes from Amazon. I completely covered the top and then did the liner. Used the rest of the box on the floors and completely covered it. Still have over half a box left. The sound is quieter than my wife's Ford Edge. As far as insulation goes, I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt in 51 degree weather while going down highway at 60. I never turned on the heater!

[@-JeepinJason-]

@@tonybolte02 so one box will cover the entire top? I don't really want to do the floor yet until I decide if I am going to line x it or not. Did the thickness of the Kilmat make any difference for the fit of the topliner on the hard top? Thanks again for answering the questions!

[@scottclausen2026]

What would your thoughts be on installing a sound deadening material before putting this on?

[@northridgenation]

We've seen people use the Lizard Skin spray in sound deadening insulation. They say it works real well with the Top Liners.

[@EddiTaru]

Would additional thickness be an issue?

[@e.l.norton]

Could you use Sound Assassin strips beneath this and still get a good bond?

[@northridgenation]

The adhesive strips don't cover the whole surface, so by moving things around, you could possibly make it work.

[@michelbourgoin8220]

This Coverking topliner looks great. Could you install this headliner over a top a sound deadening mat like kilmat 80 mil? Trying to quiet the ride as much as possible. Possible or not a good idea? Very interested in getting this topliner for my jeep JT. Thanks Mike

Can sound deadening be put on before installing this

[@northridgenation]

Yes, as long as it isn't too thick.

[@scthone]

Since this headliner covers the whole top and not just some sections like others, do you have any issues with the GPS or satellite antennae signals? I want to make sure before purchasing since other ones don’t cover the section that the antennas are located.

[@northridgenation]

We haven't noticed any problems.

[@drinchow6365]

Do you think the noise insulation/decibel reduction is better compared to other headliners?

[@northridgenation]

We haven't done a decibel test comparison. Though the Topliner has more coverage than the inserts, so it should be quieter.

[@CRXUGLYKID]

I have a question I'm planning on using soundskin 80mil to sound deaden & then 150mil noico red to help with the heat and cold.would be doing the whole hard top of my JL would that affect the installation of the top liner headliner? Im doing this because I'm putting in powerful stereo system and I'm trying to cut back on vibration Etc.

[@northridgenation]

We haven't tried that, but it shouldn't be much difference. One thought would be to use a spray in adhesive, it would help bond the Topliner to the other substrates more securely. Let us know how your project goes!

[@CRXUGLYKID]

@@northridgenation so instead of using the tape to secure the top liner to the sound deadener you're recommending that use a spray adhesive to secure the top liner to the sound deadener

[@northridgenation]

@@CRXUGLYKID It's a suggestion.The tape strips work fine, but there is unsecured sections between the tape strips. For optimum sound we would think that having all the Topliner secured would be better. BUT we would recommend talking with Noico about their product and how best to adhere the Topliner to it.

[@northridgenation]

If you go this route, definitely let us know how it goes, we'd love to hear the outcome.

[@CRXUGLYKID]

@@northridgenation I'm most likely going to put the sound deadener to the hardtop I haven't seen anyone do it other than the old JK models so I'm going to speak to the people who create the sound deadner and see if it's possible and if they say that yes you can add an adhesive spray to it and the headliner can be secure to it then I would do the install of the sound deadner and then drive down to Utah to have you guys install the top liner.I'll keep you posted.
