2000 Jeep XJ (Cherokee) Bedlining the headliner with Raptor liner 

David, that is a great idea, will certainly try that next time!

We have had it in for over a year now, it was a great decision

Bedlining a speaker box is a great idea!

Martin - yes cleaning is very easy! So far we are still very happy with the results!

Thanks for the advice Adrian, If we do it again we will use a scrubbing brush to get the old foam off.

Good luck, let us know how it turns out. If at all possible let that raptor liner cure outside for as long as you can, that will help reduce the smell. Ours only cured for one day, would have like to let it sit a little longer. More than a year later and it is still exactly as it was in the video!

Agreed! After living with it for a few years now this was the best decision and I would certainly do it again!

A great tip, thank you

Thank you

I think the visors and the lamps need attention now.

Is certainly does look great, I am still very happy with it and will certainly do it again. I agree with the visors and lamps, the speaker covers need some attention too.

Arkikecto we agree, putting additional insulation for heat and acoustics onto the roof before installing the bedlined headliner is a good idea.

Great idea Justin, thank you for the advice!

Ken, I think that putting stick on insulation is a great idea! Let us know how it turns out.

The insulation will change your life! The car will be much cooler on a hot day and a lot quieter!

Let us know how that comes our Jarusse

I have seen some people glue thermal barrier onto the roof before installing the headliner - I would look into doing this as it makes sense to me.

Thank you for the tip Steven

We are very happy with the way it came out. What color are you thinking of using?

Are you happy with the flex seal Israel?

Completely agree!

I am glad you are happy with the results. I let my headliner cure overnight before I installed it so missed the worst of the smell. What was left goes away after a couple of days - I kept my windows open at night which helped. I was fortunate that it was the middle of Alabama summer so standing in the sun during the day helped it cure pretty quickly.

Perry, I can't really tell the difference in terms of noise from before. My XJ has mud tires so the road noise has always been there. I would certainly do this again.

Unfortunately I don't think it has helped to cool, we are in Alabama with temps over 100F outside - at that point we depend on the AC

It is holding up great, so far. I really am happy and would certainly do it again if I ever have another XJ. It did take a while for the paint smell to stop though.

@@theshop392 that was going to be my question. How was the gassing off the liner? Was it overwhelming or just a bit of smell and eventually if went away? Have you used it during "hot" months to see if it softens and let's off more smell?

@Ryan Leukhardt Ryan - We let the headliner cure in the sun for two days before we installed it. There was a little smell for about 3 weeks when the car had been parked with the windows closed overnight or in the sun during the day. This was right through the Alabama summer with temperatures well over 100F. With winter now here the smell is gone. Still a great decision and definitely something we would do again.

Jose we have had it up now for a few months through summer temperatures well over 100F. No issues so far!

Where do you buy stick on insulation and what type/ brand/ thickness do you recommend? How did it turn out?

That is another way to do it!
