Design Engineering 050136 Boom Mat White Sound Deadening Headliner Compatible with 2-Door Jeep Wrangler (2007-2010)

Un indispensable para cualquier jeep wrangler, son caros a comparacion de otros como dd gele/algodon pero estos lucen mil veces mejor, y ademas dd brinda proteccion termica y acuatica mejora mucho la estetitca del interior.

Following the instructions, I noticed that Rachel (who packed my package with pride) was a bit too proud and forgot to include two insulating foam pieces for the rear of the hardtop. The installed product looks nice and gives the hardtop a more finished look. Music definitely has a bit more boom to it and I can feel a that the jeep stays a little cooler after leaving the jeep out in the sun for a while. For nearly $400 I was expecting a bit more quality wise as someone with a steady hand can reproduce this for a fraction of the cost. Overall I am pleased with the look of the product, but the low score mostly comes from the quality to price and because Rachel had forgotten to pack some pricey foam after proudly packing it all away.

This also fits a YJ just fine. I cut the curved ears off the piece where it meets in the back because it's not needed, but other than that, it fits just fine. I used a piece of the filler strips intended for a TJ and trimmed it to fit in between the two thick 1" pieces, just so there wasn't a blank spot above the speaker sound bar. I can't comment on how well it dampens sound because the jeep originally came with a soft top. I ripped all of that off and put an old used hardtop on that I refurbished. My main objective with the headliner was to reduce any radiant heat that would come off the top, even though I painted it light gray. I really don't know why anyone would want a soft top anything, especially in the south where we get 100+ temps for over 3 months. Anyways, it works well with keeping the radiant heat off my head and it feels like the ac is more effective. I'm sure it's deadening the sound too, but I wouldn't know. The soft tops are loud and flop around all the time and it's now much quieter with the hard top on.

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.

Upon opening the box I was slightly disappointed with the product. I guess I was expecting something different, like the headliner to be made of a much denser type of foam. This foam is about an inch thick and very light and airy. Less dense than say cushioning foam...by far! It does have a nice black finish on one side which will look nice and give the roof a finishing touch but I can't imagine that it is going to offer much in the way of insulation or "sound deading" except maybe to soften inside acoustics a bit. But judging from sight, touch and feel it seems extremely over priced for what it is. If I had personally examined this product prior to ordering I woud not have paid this kind of a price. Maybe half this much. Perhaps it will perform better than it appears it will? I will update the review after I have installed it. UPDATE: I have installed the headliner and so far I am impressed. It was a fairly simple install and it looks great, especially compared to the white plastic look of the original top. It does make the vehicle somewhat quieter, but better than that, the insulation factor is even more noticeable! Before installing this headliner the sun would beat down on the top and make the interior unbearably hot, even on 70 degree days. With the headliner installed I have noticed a major decrease in the interior temperature even on extremely hot 90 degree days. If for no other reason the headliner is worth the insulation value alone. I have changed my review to 5 stars based on performance and looks. I still think it's a little on the expensive side but I'm glad I made the purchase.
