The liquid nail (comes in a caulk gun tube) worked great & was really easy.

I should take some pics from it installed. I actually impressed myself because I cant see any of the brackets especially with it painted black and everyone thats ridden it is likes the clean roof.

I used the liquid nail for the freedom top T-tops, because even if it fell off I could easily just pop them back out and do it again. Thanks for the tip.

I didn't think you would have, but what is this covering the back window?

Haha, just take this post down to the local craft shop... I didn't really do it to save/make money, I did it to make an excuse to work on 'one' more project for my jeep.

Anytime making them for someone else would be time I could spend working on something else I should be doing to my Jeep

If you want to buy a solution I suggest the Hothead Headliner... I didn't use it because it really doesn't even compare to the 3/4 inch heat wall insulation... but its a quick and clean install

Wow, that looks fantastic, and I'm sure it's quite functional as well.

I really want to paint the inside of my top.. just dont have the patience nor the cojones to do so yet. Perhaps I'll do the paint and the insulation at the same time.

Great write up, thanks!
