I'll take you some picture later today on what you would have to do to put it on without taking it off. To be clear it won't be fun. Your shoulders would be dead. But I think it's possible

Yikes. Hopefully you'll find something that works. Also somewhat why I didn't want to put deadening foam or such under the headliner.

I did think on this at the time. If you remove the sound bar, probably. It would kill your shoulders. Can you take the freedom panels off?

Thank you! How has the headliner spray held up? I'm a little iffy on the kit provided glue strips and will use a spray if it ever comes down.

Sweet. So I suspect user error for those folks

I think I just replied to your comment elsewhere. But forums are easier for discussion! If you've done this, how long did it take for the rubber smell to go away? I suspect the neoprene will hold up better to places where there's a higher chance of moisture. I had to take the carpet out of...

Nice! I thought about doing the same but I saw some complaints about long term stick between headliner and sound deadener. I wonder how much of a difference that makes vs just the carpet headliner.

I will go check that! I did cut around the foam gasket that the back half has. Are you talking about the freedom panels? Either case I am going to go look and make sure. It didn't leak after the first rain. But it wasn't crazy hard.

I have that soft top on my TJ for summer times. I don't think I'd do this for temp in cold weather. But it seems to make a difference with heat. The heater in the gladiator is really good for the cold. But during the summer I could feel the top radiating heat so it was worth it for SoCal summers...

I really like my JCR off-road adventure rack. I had to cut the hard bed cover side rails a little bit to fit right but you may not need to. The same change that would be needed for any rack that clamps the bed rails Edit: Here's the exact link. It's $700 and with some modifications it can be...

Alright! The how to is posted to the forum or my website! https://builderandmaker.tv/2026/04/24/coverking-headliner-install/ https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/installing-the-coverking-gladiator-headliner.108568/

Thank you! I still am quite surprised when I get in how reasonable the sitting temp is. And how much less echo there is. Still some wind and road noise. But the stereo and conversation echo is gone.

The gladiator is our road trip/camp/tow rig so it made sense to add a headliner for noise and heat. I'm personally not a huge fan of the kind that only sit in the middle of the hard top and leave a bunch of white composite showing. The coverking one covers completely and so it matched my visual...

Last weekend I installed the coverking headliner. I wanted this one since it's a total coverage headliner. No fiberglass is visible once you're done. And man is it amazing at reducing the echo in the cab! And I saw 10-15 degree difference inside sitting in the sun. I'm working on a photo...

I wanted to get a new photo to post but I haven't been home since I started this thread. So screenshot it is! This is the lights setup I have. The middle brake light is controlled by a single relay. The amber lights are used for turn signals but I intend to plug a flasher in for dusty chase...

For sure. With water and batteries it's probably fine. But they are pretty large sails with low weight. I also drive a TJ. And that's way heavier but still a sail in a crosswond

Thank you! It was rewarding to get exactly what I needed. Originally I tried to use a hard tonneau. But with a rack on top you can't really open the cover. And any sort of drawers makes a cooler no longer fit. Poor man's fiberglass is actually the name of the process! It's typically used to...

Yea! That's the process of covering insulation foam with wood glue and cotton cloth. The most common cloth is just painting drop cloth. Combines with exterior paint it's rigid, light and waterproof. It also weighs almost nothing. It's used to make ultralight DIY camper trailers.

You sir just made my day. This is exactly what I've been looking for. It will be worth the cost!

If height is really really an issue you can go with something like the JCR adventure rack which is kind of half height and use plywood or something to make your own enclosure. I didn't care about height that much but if you got a hard shell tent you could keep it even lower. Probably close to...
