Hi Guys,
we finally got around to shooting some video of a heat test that shows how effective our headliners are as an insulation against heat, and how good our new 3M adhesive holds up in high heat. We posted links on our web site: www.hotheadheadliners.com or you can just click here to go directly to the YouTube Video.
We are pretty satisfied with the results but let us know what you think.

Hi Guys,
Someone asked for some Real World numbers. The below pics were taken by a Hothead Headliners customer who lives in Nevada.
First picture:
taken at the rear of the hardtop. Under the headliner panels, where the hardtop is very thin would be hotter that this.
Second picture:
The outside temp: 109
Third picture:
temp taken from the center of a headliner panel (sorry about the blurriness)



So, after sitting in the sun the inside of the headliner panel is just a little more than the actual outside temp. Our headliners will not keep your Jeep from getting hot if it's sitting in the sun on a hot day because of all of the sun's energy that comes through the windows. What the will do is make the inside of your Jeep like any other car. You get in it on a hot day, roll down your windows to get the hot air out as you turn your air on, and then drive around in comfort because your air conditioner doesn't have to overcome the 180 degrees of heat that are radiating down from your hardtop.

Oh sure, now they go on sale! 
I put a full set in my 2010 JK Unlimited Rubicon about six weeks ago.
front, center, rear and side panels.
MAN!! what a differace, it's not even hot yet! (101'ish) and I dont miss the heat radiating from the roof pannels any more, and the instalation,, Pfft,, easy, simple and all of 40 minutes. took my time and cleaned the roof realy good as directed. and have had zero saging,or problems!
By far one of the best mods of the over $15G's in mods I've made!
Thank you for making:
one; something that really works
two; was actually easy to do myself
three; is truly an afordable mod that does what they say it will
"We allway have time to do things twice, we never have time to do things right"
You Guy got it right!
Thank you!
