Of course. I emailed them. Just wanted to do this project today so hoping it’s a generic weatherstripping that I can pick up locally. No info anywhere on the specs that I can find.

You could do the complete install and add the weather stripping later after they send it to you. I just wouldn't run it with the freedom tops off until it was on since wind would likely try to pull the CK liner away from the rear top (and edges) without it. It won't hurt anything you run without weather stripping for a few weeks as long as the windows are up and top on. The stripping is only around the edges that catch wind.

I wouldn't try an aftermarket replacement long term. It is reinforced with metal inside.

Thanks for the write-up and all the following comments!! It’s definitely helping me plan for install. I just received my topliner over the weekend and hoping to at least install on the freedom panels this week. Gotta wait to do the back piece when someone can help me lift it off lol. FYI - it’s on sale at Quadratec for $267 - if anyone is still considering buying.

Thanks for the heads up, a couple of weeks ago they showed it out of stock at that price. Mines on the way now.

I’m just hoping they don’t cancel our orders that are at the lower price. That would be a bummer.

When did you all order yours? Maybe they sold out by the time I bought mine?

Received the topliner and kilmat today (80 mil for those interested) and got the front freedom panels done. Straightforward aside from figuring out which adhesive strips go where, and fairly tedious if you want it 100% perfect. I really like the topliner though, much better than the all white panels which are pretty jarring when I switch from my black SunRider in the summer months to white freedom panels in the winter. The kilmat/carpet combo definitely makes more of a "thud" when you hit it compared to without, so hopefully it does a decent job of deadening some road noise.

Going to do the rear top tomorrow. Below are some pics of how I arranged my kilmat and adhesive strips.

Edit: added a couple pics of the rear cap carpeting, which definitely took me a bit longer du to it all being one sewn assembly. I actually ended up just cutting the stitching that holds the small portion of carpeting at the base of the rear window which made it MUCH easier to get the rear corner sections put into place.

I absolutely wish CoverKing would provide extra adhesive strips so that you can button up certain areas that may pucker on you a bit. The fitment is close but not 100% and does require some trimming using a utility blade. But all in all, I'm happy with it, and was worth the cost and effort to install.

I just noticed the other day getting into my JTR that the Coverking liner was pulling away from the hardtop along the edge where the top of the drivers side door goes. We had a cold night, so i'm not sure if the adhesive already starting to let go or what. I'll have to snap a picture when i see it again.
