I like my headliners. The inside feels more insulated especially in the winter. I've heard people say that they are supposed to help with sound deadening also but I haven't found any difference with that. Overall I'm happy with the purchase

I like the Mopar ones because the edges are bounded.

I have the Hothead and love them. Plus Mark is a stand up guy and will bend over backwards to take care of you.

I have them and like them. I do notice a slight difference in sound, but not enough to buy them for this sole purpose. When the sun is beating down on the top, yes I notice a huge difference, but I don't run my hardtop in the summertime. Appearance is nice if you like that kind of thing. In my opinion, if you run a hardtop all summer then go for it, if not, I would use that $$$ elsewhere. Mine was free, so I love it.

I've had mine for years now. First version kept falling off, so they sent new Velcro tape. Now they only occasionally come off. Also fit of rear panel was not great. I ended up using glue to keep some areas up. In retrospect, I should have gone for the permanently attached version since once installed, there is no reason to remove them. There are other choices out there now that likely work better.

I have the Hotheads as well. It does feel cooler with them. A big difference, no. But a difference. If you get them take extra time to roughen up the surface of the top and use the cleaner they recommend. It was a pain to sand the top as you get white stuff all over. I have not had any problems.

i've had mine for years and never had a problem. They keep the interior cooler and I felt they did improve sound inside the jeep, makes sense since they will absorb more noise than the plastic panels.
