You can see mine in person. Thought they were installed last time we went to Gulches. Nice product and they really do seem to help with noise.

I've had mine for almost a year now. I live in Texas where is gets about 2000 degrees in the summer. Last summer I can tell you after the jeep sits outside in the sun I would have to run the ac on high for 15 minutes before it cooled off inside then ran it med high just to maintain comfortable inside temps. With the headliners on during last summer it's just like a car or truck. I don't have to run the ac hard and it cools off immediately. As far as it being quieter inside now????? Eeeehhhhhh I really didn't notice but then it wasn't loud in mine to start with. They look factory and so far have held up very well. Hot heads has videos on how well these things hold out the heat somewhere, it's very impressive. You won't be disappointed.

Mine held up to some extreme temps last year and are still solid. Possibly defective adhesive or you did something wrong when installing these. Even if the surface is dirty I can't imagine these coming down.... This adhesive he uses is like super glue. I'm certain if u call him he will make it right.

I saw yours in the top, do you have the side panels too? That is what Iw ant to see. How the brown translates down to the black carpet in the back. let me know if you ahve those too, I need to get your flare and clips back to you anyway.

I'm not positive what Raptor lining is, but anything that creates a rough surface will most likely impede the adhesive from sticking. It sticks best to smooth surfaces. The headliners were make for the heat problem but the work equally as well at holding the heat in.

Hi Chips,
as long as the hard top is above 60 degrees when you install the headliners and then stays that temperature for about 24 hours you will be fine. That 3M tape works fantastic in extreme cold.
