- Do hardtop headliners actually work? Are they worth the money? In this video I install a set of hardtop headliners from Hot Head Headliners in my Jeep Wrangler.
The headliners reduce noise, insulate from heat and cold, and give the interior a fresh look.

Headliner kits are available for TJs, LJs, JKs, and even the new JLs and Gladiators.
After driving around with the hardtop headliners on, I am convinced that they are worth it, Noise was greatly reduced, temperatures were also reduced, and overall it made the Jeep very comfortable.
Thanks for watching, stay tuned for next weeks video! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
For those who haven't tried this product, I HIGHLY recommend getting this. Insulating your Jeep can be one of the best things you can do for your Jeep. I've been running these exact head liners and no other company comes close to how amazing they are. The attention to detail, the quality, and the efficacy of these is second to none! In addition to the insulation, it can also help to amplify your stereo acoustics in the Jeep - especially with the upgraded sound assassin strips! Great video bro and I'm glad you made the purchase. These have been fantastic!
I totally agree.
I have a black Rubicon jku these headliners make a difference. I should've installed long ago.
Jake Alcazar hey mate do you know if they do it for a soft top?
Don't think so brotha
@@Whiteandsonsgarage What's up Brother! They absolutely do. Although, I can't comment on the difficulty of installation as I only have a hardtop. Check out this video for reference. Let us know how it goes!

Well f@ck eh. Guess I’ll be pulling out the Visa card again
Brand new headliners. Rubs mud on it. This guy is the real deal. Subscribed because of that alone.
Been watching a lot of your videos recently. I'm a disabled vet and I recently just bought a 2014 JKU to kinda get my life back. I can't afford all the mods or anything, but watching you do all this is just super fun. Keep it up brother.
Thanks for watching! And I have some free/cheap ideas coming up for future videos.
IanTheMonk awesome stuff mate, don’t need all the mods just get out and enjoy the freedom
Hang in there brother. I find that when I hit bottom I have a solid place to plant my feet. Jeep on.
@@J.Bradley. it's hard going through cancer and shit. So the wife told me to buy myself something I'll love.
Shes right. It's good for you to have something to look forward to, enjoy and put yourself in to. Sounds like you've got a good team around you and things that make you happy, that's about the most we can hope for. Now all you have to do is keep at it until enough time has passed and cancer has lost completely. Nobody ever said cancer was was easy but youve won battles before and you know what you're made of. Kick its ass, then hug your wife.
Living in AZ, this is a must. I'm 6'4", I can feel the heat radiating off the hardtop. I chose jeeptops headliners due to the net and zipper pocket in the front pieces. Also installed the hotheads rear side pieces too. I did the installation with the top off, hanging from my ceiling with a harken hoist, which made the install easy. After a year, I'm very happy with the results. The difference is very obvious. Top of my head no longer cooks.
I had the dealer install the headliner a few months after I purchased my Jeep. It really was night and day difference. It really helped with the acoustics of the speakers along with cutting down on some of the noise. Also to me it made it feel more tight, comfortable and complete on the inside. I recommend a headliner for any hardtop owner.
Agreed. I am glad I have them!!!
Installed mine about a year ago, along with the sound assassin strips and absolutely love them! Never had a problem with them falling off! great video as always! 👍👍
Purchased these some time ago and finally got to install them. The are super easy to install and the instructions are very clear and easy to understand. The are top quality product that fits like a glove!!!
The sound is reduced and makes the stereo sound much better. As I'm in very northern Canada, I am excited to see how it works as insulation for the interior...certainly make a substantial difference for the heat.
This is the best test and review video of these hard top liners around. Great job 👍🏾
Hot Heads are the best and Mark provides the best customer service!! Way better than the Mopar version. I bought a white Jeep with a white hardtop this time and it makes the most difference.
I added duct insulation from Home Depot/Lowes/etc to the roof of my ZJ. It lowered the roof temps by 30 degrees according to my IR thermometer on the inside.
It had an adhesive back and wasn't too hard to install. Then I put in my headliner for a clean install.
Another excellent review. And yes not showing every single step of the install is appreciated. Your edits were perfect. But would also like to see the difference in the actual air temps before and after. My Jeep sits in the airport parking lot 100+ days a year so this would help a lot. Thanks again for helping me spend my money!! But 35s still have to be next purchase.
Installed it a few months ago, and its one of my favorite upgrades.
Thank you for the wonderful idea. I live in Florida and we have been in the upper 90's to the 100's lately and believe me by JK is like an oven and I have to leave the AC on high. I will definitely be trying them.
I loved the "dirty test". that was so satisfying
Nice work on the mud and dust demo! Enjoyed the install and insights. Thanks
Had these for my JK and in the AZ heat, this is a must. I just ordered a new set for my wife's new JL and am expecting great results. Great functional upgrade for the Jeep hard top!
Just ordered my headliner and floor liners. Super excited before the AZ summer heat.
Thanks so much for the comprehensive video & the 10% off code! I just ordered mine, cant wait to get them on.
Looks like a great product. Will check them out for sure!
My fire extinguisher is mounted to my tailgate table using the Molle attachment points and a fabric roll bar extinguisher mount. It isn't perfect but it is secure and accessible!
You will love those headliners on cold days too.
I've been looking into this kind of headliners - great video - and awesome you did the thermal temps first-
I have a very similar product on my Jeep. It’s does make a big difference on the heat specially here in California were its get 115 degrees. It also takes most of the outside sound away too. 👍🏻
I had these in my jk two door when I had my hardtop in Florida and it made a huge difference in temperature reducing and acoustically for the stereo!
Nice video! I'd like to see a cold weather test too. And see how they compare to Mopar version (definitely a lot cheaper!)
I got these for my gladiator same brand and I love them the sound quality is so much better
Cool review, thanks for the tip. Really nice overhead radio mount you have there
My '16 jku Hard Rock came with factory Headliners and I love them.
Gives it a more refined look as well quieter than non headliner Jk's.
I've casually been in the market for a headliner kit. It's been 105 here in SC some days already. Just placed an order using your link. Couldnt pass up 10% off for a much better product than the Mopar stuff. Went for the sound assassin add on which was cheap and makes sense. Free shipping as well. Gave you a shout out in the how'd you hear about us portion of the check out. Thanks for the hook up.
How can people give a thumbs down on this video. It's great information and he is doing it for people who are not sure if this product works or not. . If you don't like it just move along. Keep up the videos brother and carry on.
I just bought mine today with sound assassins but minus the side panel. I have been researching for a while now and finally pulled the trigger. Can't wait to get them installed. Here in AZ they should help a ton. Thanks for the video and discount code!
Thanks! I think just based on the reduced noise I'm going to install this kit in my JT Gladiator! Thanks!
Running the same liner from them, won it from their instragram giveaway and it is amazing! I would suggest mounting the fire extinguisher on the roll bar in the rear above the door.
Great review been looking at these figured they might make a big difference here in Arizona. Now I know.... thanks for the extensive review.
They work very well, I live where it gets over 100° in the summer for multiple days and it can get below freezing during the winter months. It also does wonders for road noise. Highly recommend
I've had these in my JKU 2016 for 4 years now, I also got the additional sound barrier that is installed under these and the pieces that go around the rear windows. Its parked in a garage when home but sits out in the 110°Sacramento summers and the chilly nights when at work. Stays cooler and retains it when its HOT out and seems warmer in the winter. Get them or don't I really don't care....but they do work well
Always putting out great content! Keep it up! I subscribed as soon as my uncle told me about you and one of the trips he took to off-road and is in one of your previous videos as he will be in the next one coming up as he says!
Great review. Been contemplating these and i think ya sold me.
I was definitely looking into getting something like this. Thanks for the update. It gets way too hot in my Jeep.
I just built some of these panels with 1/2” R3.2 foam board, butyl/aluminum sheets, batting and faux suede.
Painted the hardtop interior deep candy red and this whole setup looks insane with it.
Awesome video. I’m convinced I need this now.
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful and exactly what I was looking for in a review of this product. Very informative and funny. The funniest thing you said was that you are not a patch guy. Lol I instantly thought to myself, you will be now.
Sweet! Thanks just ordered my set.
Really good video. Greatly appreciated.
I see you have a molly panel above your center console. I purchased one of those for my Jeep and love it. I was iffy on it at first but after using it for some time now I like it a lot. It's a great accessory for putting things like CB or other electronics on. If you don't have a video on that you should make one. Mike
Thanks buddy I just ordered one for our JL. Oh and thanks for the discount code.
I don't have this problem because i don't have a top on all summer! haha. But i do believe this would be a great upgrade if you keep your hard top on all the year round
I like it! It looks really really nice 👍
Hey man love the vid, could you do a video on how to test flex and measure how much bump stop you need? Not many good videos on youtube about it and im sure a lot of people would love to learn about it instead of just using the amount the lift kit recommends. Keep up the great content🤘
Just ordered this for my JLUR 👍🏼😎✌️
I installed a different brand, but agree a 100 must have mod for daily driving. For me the biggest improvement was the decrease in echo in the cabin interior.
Throwing mud on your headliner that's going above and beyond a standardreview. I would give you 2 thumbs up if I could. Good job!
Looks great as always bro!
ok I am getting one, thank you for video and code
Excellent review and install video. New subscriber!
I live in Arizona and it gets much hotter here. Many in my Jeep club paint their tops white on top. That makes the biggest difference of anything.
Jim I feel that pain, I have a black tj in Australia and wish I got a white one, we just cook in summer
I love the videos keep up the good work.
Thank goodness I got these!
Relocate the fire Extinguisher to the front next to the seat. For easy reach.
"Let's make some mud!" This is why I subscribed. 😂
Love the power tank install
Lower temp and sound deadening is great, but I like the way it makes the Jeep look.
It'd be interesting to see how much more temperature drop you can get by painting the roof (white or chrome). Good video!
Havent been here for a while. Congrats on your subscriber count wow! Cheers from Denver CO!
I was wondering where you’ve been!
Not surprised at all by the temp readings. I took my hard top off last Saturday and burned my fingers. It was 92 with a heat index of 105. 🔥
Love mine. Worth every penny
Great video, I have the factory version and it works well but that looks like it has a tad bit more coverage
Wow. Had no idea this existed til now. Living in Phoenix AZ with an ALL BLACK Wrangler this is so necessary. Burned my fingers soooo many times taking my freedom panels off…
My head is on fire 🔥 this video is a god send lol
Front of drivers seat frame mount with quick disconnet for your fire extinguisher would be an option.
cjponyparts carries some.
The headliners should help in the cooler months also.
I heard you mention Rausch creek! I will be there with some friends. I'll definitely come say hi!
Hood vent came out great paint matched👍👍 Next ya gotta paint match that hard top and fenders🔴
Really good review that you even smeared the mud on it
I like your headlights. And that black rim.
FYI, the Rubicon 10th Anniversary, Rubicon Hard Rock, and Rubicon Recon Editions all came with factory headliners if you got the hardtop. I have a 2015 Hard Rock and my sister has a Sarah, and I can tell the difference with the headline installed. it also keeps it warmer in the winter.
True, but the factory stuff can't hold a candle to the Hotheads headliners. I'm thinking about pulling mine and replacing them with this stuff
I had the inside and outline of my hardtop sprayed with lineX premium. It dramatically reduced the interior temperature and reduced wind noise by maybe 30%. I then added a headliner kit. It helped maybe a little bit more with heat but it also got the interior down noise down at 65 to that of an F150 @ 75. Great upgrade plus my hardtop became stronger and scratch proof
I bought a set of these a long time ago and it has helped with the heat tremendously but they do seem to have improved the product quite a bit. My old set is a lot thinner and is not covered in reflective material, that seems like it would be a lot better.
Watched this right after the Rausch Creek vid and when you mentioned going I cringed a little haha. Hope the fiberworks is going well. If not I have the trek top nx glide soft top with the fastback style which I highly recommend.
At the mud test, I was like “I like this dude, what a guy” lol
This really should be standard equipment in the wrangler. Hopefully they will be once they finally have competition from the Ford Branco.
4WD 24/7 uses something that mounts the fire extinguisher to the front of the seat bracket. I see one for sale today that is called the Bracketeer. Although there may be many more. Didn't read the comments to see if you have already resolved it but it is a viable option nonetheless.
I’ll save y’all from watching the video. Yes. They work. They are amazing. Hothead Headliners FTW!
Well it helps when people watch the video 😂
Great video
Simple green works on everything 🙋
I’m going to get this for my Gladiator 🇺🇸👍🏻😎
Nice product
Bought them after seeing your vid. Installed and the idea is great. Lower sound levels and better temperatures. BUT...... the adhesives used are crap. I followed the instructions and cleaned and sanded the top. The first to fail was the rear. Fell off after a week. Then the sides and finally the middle. I have removed the top on a lift and recreated and sanded. Epoxy applied to the strips. They are now permanent and I am fine with that.
That’s the first I’ve ever heard of that!
I would call hot head and just let them know, maybe they can give you a partial refund, or at least try to see what went wrong.
You could mount the fire extinguisher on the floor next to the driver's seat
Man with 4 mustaches says...
My extinguisher sits there w/o any issues and, at the ready.
#JesusisLord
Cool. Just ordered the complete set for new Jeep....it gets cold n hot in SD bro.
I love your vids brother and honestly don't stop cuz the mods are amazing..... but i have to say... 100 degrees is 100 degrees man. I'd have to insulate the doors, UV heat protectant on the windows, and firewall insulator to make a big difference for sure.
Totally understandable, and just by watching the numbers it doesn’t really seem that impressive. However I will say that it makes a huge difference.
If you ever get a chance to ride in a Jeep that has some, then do it! A video doesn’t do them justice on how well it enhances the interior. The temp difference is there, but not a crazy change though. But the overall noise reduction, paired with temp reduction and the looks really does make it feel like an entire new interior. Hard to explain haha. Well take care and happy 4th! 🤘
Rapto worx makes a great mount for the fire extinguisher.
Question, where did you get those headlights! Great video and probably going to buy the headliners 🤙🏽
Another great video. Might look into a set of those now. What is the rack system you have your CB mounted on and where can I get one?

Thank you Ben
Hey man, you can mount your fire extinguishers on the back side of the back seat headrest
nice video!
Thanks your the best
Just ordered it
I have head liners but not theses. I love mine, but I did have to use a silicone adhesive that is 500 degree compatiable because it wont stick unless you have it. it will peel off if you don't have it.
Put another overhead molle over the back seats and mount your fire extinguisher to that
Just subscribed. Good vid and content man!
just to add to my comment, I use them, but not this brand and today it 90 and the hardtop was at a temp of 180, my inside temp was 150. that a 30 degree difference, but I don't use this brand. I have and ill be honest a way cheaper off brand and used a 500 degree sealant adhesive to install and love it. it really works . just ask me wva jeep community. thanks
