How to Install Hothead Soft Top Headliner - Black (97-06 Wrangler TJ) on your Jeep Wrangler

Soft top headliners now have tear-resistant barrier sown in the middle for increased insulation

1. With your soft top up install the header bar Velcro.

• Install 1” adhesive backed Velcro on front header channel as show in pic below. If you go to www.hotheadliners.com and click on the Soft Top Headliner page there is a video showing how to install the Velcro. If you can’t see the video follow these steps: 
• If you have to windows out of your soft top & unhook the back corners of the soft top from the Jeep’s body; you will have more room to install the header bar Velcro. 
• Clean top of header bar with alcohol.
• Then apply the crayon size 3M adhesive promoter (follow instructions on car broad vial)
• Peel back approx 3” of the Velcro backing exposing 3” of adhesive.
• Slide the Velcro in place (between header and inside of soft top).
• Line up as straight as possible and stick the 3” of exposed adhesive onto header bar. If you get the first 3” of Velcro straight the rest will go on easier. 
• While holding the Velcro 10-15” farther down grab the 3” of cellophane that you peeled from the back of the Velcro and pull it exposing another 6-10” of adhesive. Stick the exposed adhesive in place. 
• Continue with the above method until all of the Velcro is stuck. 

1. Put soft top down.
2. Throw soft top headliner in place and attach the front of the headliner using the 1 bungee ball.
3. Loosely attach the 2 rear most side Velcro straps to the roll bar (you will tighten them more later). 
4. Put soft top up. (Do not lock header bar in place yet.) 
5. Thread each of the 4 side Velcro straps over the side bar of soft top frame (this bar is just on the outside of the roll bar), and then down in-between the soft top plastic frame & the roll bar. That side of the Velcro strap will now be sticking out the bottom of the roll bar so you can stick the other side of the Velcro to it. Loosely attach all side straps so they can’t slide back out of place. 
6. Remove the front bungee & attach front of headliner to header bar by sticking the two sides of Velcro together. Start in center of Velcro, using finger holds along front edge next to & in between grommets, and pull away from center to pull out any wrinkles. 
7. Lock down header bar. 
8. Go to the rear of Jeep and attach the four 2” Velcro straps around the rear most bar for the soft top frame. 
9. Attach one of the short bungee cords on each side of the headliner. Bungee attaches around the roll bar using the two grommets on each side (approx center) of the headliner. 
10. Now pull tight & adjust the side Velcro straps from side to side until all wrinkles are gone.

Any wrinkles from packing will fall out in a short time. 

Not recommended for speeds over 25 mph. Sun Shade mode is for trail use only.

1. Remove front of headliner from header bar by sliding your hand in between the two sides of Velcro as you pull the front of headliner out (DO NOT just pull headliner out with first separating the two side of Velcro with your hand). 
2. Attach front bungee ball. 
3. Put soft top down. 
4. Attach front side bungee cords.
