How to Install Boom Mat Sound Deadening Headliner - White (11-17 Wrangler JK 4 Door) on your Jeep Wrangler

NOTES: This kit is designed to fit Jeep Wranglers equipped with factory hardtops. One person can install the front panels over the driver and passenger seats (JK Models). However, it is recommended that a minimum of 2 people install the panels on the back part of the hardtop, as they are large (JK & TJ Models). We suggest you remove the hardtop from vehicle and place on the floor in an inverted position. Placing the hardtop on a blanket is recommended to protect it from scratches. Lay the parts in place with the paper release liner left in place to note its position and where it will be installed. Once the adhesive contacts a clean surface, it is extremely difficult to remove the adhesive. Be sure the part is in the desired position before adhering it! 

SURFACE PREP:
Vacuum or wipe down installation area to remove all loose debris/dust. Then clean with isopropyl alcohol to remove any contaminants.

1.) Remove the hardtop from vehicle following the manufacturer's suggested removal. Placing the hardtop on a blanket is recommended to protect it from scratches. Make sure to place the hardtop on the blanket in an inverted position.

2.) Once the hardtop is removed, clean the inside surface of the hardtop with isopropyl alcohol. This will ensure a good adhesive bond between the head-liner and the hardtop.

*Note: The adhesive will not stick properly to a dirty surface. 

3.) Install the foam "filler strips" in the molded ribs to ensure a smooth installation of the headliner. Without the "filler strips", the headliner will conform to the ridges in the top leaving an uneven appearance. Make sure to test fit the filler strips into the ribs of corresponding length before peeling the release liner on the strips. 

4.) Remove the paper release liner from the back of the part about to be installed. Once the liner is removed center one side as shown in Figure.

5.) Once the starting edge is adhered, lay the rest of the part by applying gentle pressure by hand as shown in Figure 4.

6.) Once the parts have been installed, apply pressure by hand.

7.) Once all parts are installed, allow parts to sit in the top inverted for 25 minutes.
(See Figures 6 and 7). This will allow the adhesive to set properly. Once the parts have set, you are ready to install the top back on your Jeep.
