Hot Head Liners or Bedrug Liners? I'm wanting to add headliners to the hard top to cut down on the "tin can" sound. Suggestions on the two mentioned or another brand if you know of one. Or, if someone has a DIY suggestion.

My vote is for Hot Head Headliners. I installed them in my 2015 2-door last summer and I'm extremely happy with them. Mark Ambrose sent me emails acknowledging my order and a second email letting me know my order was shipped, and to let me know I could call him if I had any problems with the order or the install. The instructions in the kit were very good, but the install videos and tips on Mark's website made the install go really easy. I added the side window liners and the Sound Assassin. This is one of the few modifications I've made on my Jeep that my wife noticed and commented how they made a big difference in both heat reduction, and sound deadening. They are more expensive but feel they are worth the extra cost.

Go with the Hot Heads, I have had them on my 2012 , put them on that year and not a problem with them yet.

I'ld recommend the Hothead Headliners. They look/feel like they belong there from the factory, they control the echoes in the cabin, provide a nice warm interior feeling and Mark the owner of Hotheads support on the forums, if ever needed is 2nd to none. He truly stands behind his product.

Mark is often on these forums ensuring customers are satisfied and continuously improving his design. I had my Hothead headliners on for almost 6 years now where around the 5 year time of installation,I found my back top and side panels were starting to sag. I asked other members which tape I should purchase to re-attach them in place. Mark contacted me on the forum and sent me out new and improved 3M tape as well as everything else I needed such as a roller tool and velcro tape strips to take care of the problem at no charge. You won't find that kind of support for any other of the options....or for any other aftermarket accessory for that matter.
Here's the discussion thread I started where you can see Mark joined in.

Mark also made a pretty informative video which compares the HH to the others. While he is obviously bias, I think he does a good job eliminating his bias by sticking to the factual differences.

HI,
I'm sure you got them out by now or traded your Jeep in, but for anyone trying to remove Hothead Headliners heat is the trick. You need to sit your Jeep in the sun so your hard top get hot. Then the headliners will come out fairly easy, but if your hard top is not warm they are incredibly hard, or impossible, to remove.

Why would you want to remove one?

FWIW, I recently installed the Mopar headliners in my '09. While they are OK and fit well, they could use more adhesive. HAd I not gotten them for a stupid cheap price I'd gone with HH in a heartbeat.
