Design Engineering 050137 Boom Mat Black Sound Deadening Headliner Compatible with 4-Door Jeep Wrangler JK (2011-2018)

Outside of having to remove the hardtop from my 2013 Jeep Wrangler, the installation of these insulation pads was incredibly easy. They fit perfectly, and make an immediate impact in insulating the hardtop from heat (and presumably cold, but it is not Winter yet), as well as from road noise. I went from barely being able to touch the inside of the hardtop while driving in the sun in the summer and feeling the heat radiate on my head, to now being able to sit comfortably and not notice any heat coming from the hardtop. Additionally, the road noise was immediately improved once these were installed. I am sure that other similar products may work just as well for a lower price (although I don't know that for a fact since these are the only ones I have tried), but I can assure you this product works incredibly well, and if you drive a Jeep Wrangler Hardtop, you will be very glad to have installed this. Additionally, it does not at all detract from the look of the hardtop, and in fact once installed, it fits so well, it looks like it came like that from the factory. I highly recommend this product.

I have noticed a big difference in sound and in heat retention ( I live in Canada ). My stereo sounds amazing now, great acoustics. The panel in the back seat will go on easier if you take the hardtop off. Took me about an hour to install .

i waited a little before i did the review. i installed this about 6 weeks ago. i live in the desert southwest with summer temperatures over 100 degrees. our jeep was so hot the air conditioner was always on high and you could still feel the radiating heat on your head from the extreme temperature of the roof. this really did the trick! it really made a huge difference. i was worried the temperature would affect how the adhesive held. but so far so good. it also made a big difference in sound absorption. people can hear me better now when i use the bluetooth for calls. i did go the extra mile when it came to installation. i did not risk just sticking these on while the top was still on the jeep. i laid down some heavy blankets on the garage floor and turned the hard top upside down. i also found laying out all the little foam strips to match the indentations of the roof was a good idea. they are different sizes to match and fill the indentations so the big pieces lay more evenly. i cleaned the inside surface of the top with denatured alcohol and microfiber cloth. i’m telling you…… you only get one chance to position this! there’s no pulling it off to move it a little…. nope. not sure what the sticky surface is, but it’s forever. i have found that the paper liner you pull off is in two sections on the bigger pieces. so you position the foam pieces with the paper liners on and then fold up half, pull the liner and then press it down. repeat on the other side and it looks perfect. i even found a way to use this technique on the small pieces for the freedom tops. two of my friends have also bought these for their jeeps, and i helped them with theirs. it is worth the little extra effort taking the top off and working on its apart from the jeep itself. i love the product. it has performed as described. it was worth the investment.

Wow what a difference. A combination of these and sticky floor mats makes my Jeep sound like a normal vehicle not a tank rumbling

A great product.b4 i couldn't put my hand against the hot panels! Much better at heat reduction. Front panel install was easy. I did the remainder without removing the top. I'm old and live alone. So the rear wasn't hard to install. However the center section is harder. I just made a small cut so that part of the backing stayed (relatively), so i could slip the front few inches past the roll bar without adhesive. Looks ok. Im not competing for jeep of the month! Ha. Recommend.
