Hi, new to the forum...
Have a 2016 Wrangler Sarhara Unlimited. No "real" modifications, just new LED lights all around (except for the 3rd brake light - but that will happen soon). Oh, and I'm upgrading the stock rims with BFG All Terrain T/A K02 in 275/65/18 and Bilstein 4600 shocks...
My daughter had a "fender bender" last year that scratched the hardtop roof. On the old roof I had installed JTopsUSA black headliner to all parts of the roof. When the autobody shop gave me back the Wrangler they gave me the headliners. Well, when I installed them a few weeks ago I realized they didn't give me the front two panel headliners.
For the life of me I cannot find a site that sells insulation panels for just the two front removable panels.
Anyone know of a website that sells just those parts?
Thanks for the help.

I’ve heard about these .
Do you find if helps keep Jeep a little warmer on cold days ?
Does it also help cut down on road noise as well ?

I have the Mopar ones. They definitely cut down on noise. They seem to help with temps on hot days, so I would expect the help on cold days. They don't go "edge to edge" in covering the roof but I feel it makes a difference. The sound dampening is the biggest plus for me. I live in Michigan, it does get cold, but I can put on my Stormy Kromer or Elmer Fudd if it's cold in the Jeep. :)

@willo100 I would try contacting the company you bought them from and see if they will sell just the front panels (I haven't seen that offered anywhere). If replacements, I can certainly recommend the Mopar ones. I've heard very good things of the Hot Heads version, too.

Thanks everyone. Yeah, I've been looking around a lot and cannot find just the front 2 pads. Might have to suck it up and get all new ones, which is a bit frustrating.
As for them helping with sound and insulation... I've found that they definitely help. A bit. Not a ton. But even a bit of insulation with cold/heat and to assist sound is good in the JK.
FYI, just got the new BFG KO tires and Bilstein shocks and I LOVE THE RIDE. Give the stock setup a much better stance with larger tire and ride with the shocks for sure.
