Good posts here. I used some faux suede curtains that my wife had. They were just the right length and width. Make sure the spray adhesive you get is for headliners or else you'll be doing it again in a month or so. Spray it on liberally and let it go tacky as per directions. It's a fun project.

Super 77 is what I used, and it worked like a charm.

Only on certain high faluten models hahaha.


Not every Cherokee came with the rear soundbars, overhead consoles, multiple dome lites, etc.


Don't feel inadequate if yours hasn't got those sorts of things.

Well I have front map lights/courtesy lights and a cargo light and front footwell lights and a sound bar on the bottom of the trunk and apparently two tweeters on the bottom of the front dash. Oh and also a telephone which apparently used to cost approx $2,500 to buy not including the difficult installation. head liner-photo4294966399.jpg
I just think it might be cool to find out how to install a roof sound bar also. Like maybe just behind rear passenger seats so there is more direct sound there rather than it coming from the front and back only? That would be really cool

Heat insulation and I guess noise insulation but mainly heat. It gets super hot a lot more quickly without a headliner. I don't have one.

Have any of you taken the opportunity to add in some extra insulation to the roof before you put the headliner back in?
Seems like it would be a simple, cheap, and easy thing to do to make your ride on a rainy day more quiet. And to help beat back the heat a bit on those really hot days.

I did. I did not do it cheap though. Well I take that back. The closed cell foam was cheap.

Would you guys know where I can get a massive roll of the Molle-Canvas to rivet into the headliner so that I can attach small accessory bags to the roof in the rear? I also make a nice pattern.
