hey it looks great. If you don't mind would you be willing to give us exact measurements and maybe some pictures of where exactly you attached all the velcro? The temps here in the south are cooling but would be a good winter project to get ready for next summer. Thanks

I went to school in Texas for a while, so I understand how hot it can get, you usually think your A/C is not working, but seriously I rather deal with the temperature than have to look at that blanket over my head may be that's just me

Well maybe not everyone took a sewing class like you did during high school. I asked a simple question. I appreciate your input though.

So far I'm liking the results ... cabin temps drop much more quickly with the A/C on recycle and the radiant heat from the top isn't even noticable while driving. Well worth the effort I say!

I know this is a really old topic, but how is it holding up (if you're still using it)? And is there anything you wish you had done different? I'm looking into doing something to insulate my soft top since it feels like ice on a cold windy day right after turning my jeep off.

Default Hothead Soft Top Headliner

Hi Everyone,
I know this is a write up page so I will be brief. I just want to post a few pictures of our soft top headliners in case anyone doesn't have the time or inclination for a do-it-yourself project.
You can see more pics & product videos at: Hothead Headliners

regards,

Mark
