Default Stop the heat from comming thru my hard top

Hi every one, I just came across a product that I think a lot of you might be interested in. My father in-law and I have been looking for something to keep the California heat from beating thru our hard top out in the desert, which keeping the air conditioning from working as well as we would like. We found one shop that quoted us a price of $1000. That was more than I would pay. I think our search is over for product that is priced right. Check out this website. hotheadheadliners.com

Looks interesting. I'd be looking for a real world testimonial. I'm wondering how well the velcro is holding up under the heat.

Public Notice from the Administrator:

Quote:
WARNING: BUYER BEWARE
The manufacturer of this product is believed to be a Canadian based company called Californiatops. This conclusion was determined by doing research online and by what the author of this post eventually stated in his post here.

Californiatops is a company that has a long history of questionable business practices and they have been banned from eBay and PayPal. This has been documented by the Ripoff Report and can be verified by doing a simple Google search or a search on forums such as JeepsUnlimited.com and RubiconOwners.com. More recently, a member here had purchased a thermal liner from this company while they were still going under the name coloradojeepman and his experience with them can be found here.

I have personally tried contacting this company to acquire a phone number and/or physical address for their stated location in Florida just in case the information I had about them was erroneous and my inquiries were met with hostility and my questions went unanswered. Needless to say, it is our opinion that this company has questionable business practices and would advise against purchasing any of their products.

If thats true, I'm sorry to ref them

I had no trouble or misrep., or delays in getting my kit delivered and it was exactly as advertised

If you've never bought anything from CANADA, then you will probably be dissappointed in the time/delivery period-I don't have any problems with that

Before I even tried it, I added JC Whitney
Thermal-Acustic" insulation and now Without a lot of details-the hardtop is just like a normal 4 dr sedan, inside quiet and temp, but the finish and appearance is better than I could ever do
