Hothead Headliners Introduction

[Hothead Headliners]

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to take a minute to introduce Hothead Headliners to the Gladiator Forum members. We are a small American company that takes pride in offering the best headliners we can make and even more pride in providing exceptional customer support. If your'e curious about our headliners head on over to our web site where there are lots of pictures & videos. The Gladiator headliners will look very similar to the JK & JL 2 door ones.
If you are wondering if we have the Gladiator headliners available for purchase, we do not. We do have a new Gladiator Rubicon in transit from the factory to our chosen dealer. Hopefully we will have it in our hands in 2-3 weeks and have the headliners available for purchase 2-3 weeks after that, so mid June. We will have pictures & pricing up shortly after we receive our JT.
If you would like to be notified when the headliners are ready just send us an email and we will add you to our notification list.

Here is a link to our web site: Hothead Headliners

If you have any questions please email or give us a call:

best regards,
Mark

Hi mark! Welcome!

Some of us have been discussing your products. The headliner and sound assassin in particular.
We look forward to gladiator versions being available for the headliner.
On the bright side, some of us are also waiting for our gladiators. Probably won’t have them till June, July and some maybe later.... (sorry GCM Club)...

LMAO, i just searched for sound assassin, and found this thread, what a coincidence

Are you going to come up with a sound assassin kit as well? Ever thought of putting the sound assassin strips on the inside of the doors? does it work well, thinking of doing this with your kits?

 

[steffen707]

Do you guys have any solutions for painting the white headliner roof? any product that works best? Plastidip?

Hi,
we will definitely offer the Sound Assassin strips for the hard top of the Gladiator. As for putting it inside the doors, you can just buy sheets of the Sound Assassin and do the entire floor & inside the doors. That material is very easy to cut to whatever size you need. I'm not sure how easy it will be to gain access to the inside of the door, but if you can get some in there it would sure make the door feel more solid.
regards,
Mark

I'm sorry but I don't have much experience with painting. A lot of our customers do paint the inside of their hard top before installing our headliners. I always suggest that they only paint about 1" into the recessed areas where the panels go so the 3M tape that attaches the panels will stick directly to the unpainted hard top. We know the tape sticks to the hard top but it may not hold as well to the paint, or the paint may put off the hard top.

Mark

do you sell the sound assassin sheets, or is Sound Assassin a seperatecompany that you buy the sheets from to make the Hothead Headliners Sound Assassin kits?

Didn't I post the video somewhere?

Can't find it. This seems to be a recurring thing... I'm losing it. Thinking I had conversations I didn't have... yikes. Thinking I posted things I didn't post.

HI,
we do sell Sound Assassin sheets (that is specifically our brand name). They are 20" x 15". We don't manufacture the material. It's butyl rubber with radiant barrier foil on one side. There are lots of companies that sell it, Dynamat is probably the most well know.
I hope that answers your questions.

So we had our first Gladiator in the shop yesterday (ours is still in transit), and got all the patterns we need for the headliners. We will have the hard top headliners available for pre-sale on HOTHEAD HEADLINERS in the next few days. We will start shipping out headliners for the Gladiator in 2-3 weeks. If you have any questions about the Gladiator please head on over to our forum on the Gladiator Forum and post them there or shoot us an email.

ps - I know these are not the best pictures. I will have tons more when we get our own Gladiator.

Are you going to sell a complete interior sound assassin kit for the JT, like you did for the JL?
