Deadening headliner...

[Clarice]

Is the deadening headliner worth it? I wanted to keep the interior where it could easily be wiped down from floor to ceiling. If I got the headliner it would be the only carpeted area.

Has anyone rode in a bronco with and without the headliner on highway? If so can you voice your opinion.

I haven't personally, but the dealer event I went to was immediately after the free headliner was announced so it was a hot topic of discussion. The Bronco reps were all adamant that it made a substantial difference, especially on the washout interiors. Keep in mind the seatbacks are still carpeted too.

I have only been in the soft top. My one thought, they wouldn’t be giving them away if it was quiet enough without it. They are likely anticipating complaints about noise or there is a resonance issue without it. It should not be hard to remove if you decide it’s impeding your cleaning. I just want to see how dirty you plan to get it to need to hose down your roof! You will have to share pictures at some point

The Bronco I road in at Super Cel East had the sound deadening headliner. We only got up to 45 on the paved road but the ride was pleasant, carried on a normal conversation with the driver. The headliner also gave a nice finished appearance. At no charge, well worth it.

Yes it's free

My only concern with the headliner is if there will be better aftermarket options.

Specifically, the Hothead Headliner looks to be a quality product that might provide better benefits.

I'm not adding it to my order. It's not very substantial and the pics so far (pre-production) show a poor fit. If you choose to get it and want to take it off later, the adhesive may not be easy to remove from the MIC top. I will most likely be adding one aftermarket but mostly for temperature control which in the factory option does not look like a priority.

It’s free. If you don’t like it...pull it out.

That's kind of what I suspected. Especially given the reported manufacturing issues. Or perhaps there was some decibel regulation or expected norm these days in terms of cabin noise, and Ford thought it would not be met without the fabric liners.

Personally I don't care if the interior top has some visual imperfections, and in the earlier photos I liked the carbon fiber-ish surface look. But I could see some buyers looking it over with a magnifying glass and complaining about imperfections. So maybe Ford wanted to head that off at the pass with the fabric.

It would super awesome if Ford gives you like a $250 credit if you do not want the headliner.

Kinda moot at this point, the cutoff for the decision to decide if you wanted it or not has passed.

 

[Raptor911]

For folks that have submitted their orders yes but still relevant for folks that have not submitted their orders.

There have been a lot of forum member review threads lately, but hardly any with photos showing detailed hardtop interior shots. Or I maybe I missed those?

Having driven removable top 4x4s for many years without fabric interior panels, it's just not something I ever felt I needed, regardless of it being free. But I'm open to it, will have to see in person probably.
