It was free but optional on the BL and BD, not standard. You had to specifically request it to get it on those.
So is mine... In fact, quality is far better than what I expected. The material as a plush, dense feel to it. Pictures I've see came off looking like I dunno what... CheapMine in real life is quite acceptable and hasn't shed or anything. I haven't had any issues with it.
Can you please add more photos from different angles? I added it too, but I am not sure if I like the look...I have the factory liner on my 4dr OBX with the MIC II roof panels. You have to add it to your order specifically, because not everyone wants it. You can also go aftermarket, either a self-install, or have a stero install company install a much more tecky one for you.
My headliner is of nice, basic quality (photo) and looks nice, although the black color contributes to an already dark interior, with no ceiling lights. There is no shedding or peeling as reported in some early installs.
I picked up my Badlands 4 door Lux Nov 24th.I am curious about the headliner. I did not order one, but ford said I will get one free. Cool. However, on my window sticker there is no mention of the sound deadening headliner. Free or otherwise. I have seen some of the window stickers of some of you guys and some say complimentary headliner. Only thing I am wondering is, are all the mic tops coming with the headliner installed? I do have the mgv interior.
Ok, here's two night flash photos. I'm not trying to sell this, what Ford has done here is a simple single sound-absorbing layer of a carpet-like fabric on the underside of the MIC top pieces. Its well done, there's lots of contours and latches to cut around, and my car has no shedding or peeling. A few others report problems quality issues with the liner.Can you please add more photos from different angles? I added it too, but I am not sure if I like the look...

The Bronco with liner is still somewhat noisey at interstate speed, but not at lower speeds, so you'll need a more sophisticated vehicle treatment to make it quieter, if thats even possible. And sound acoustic vehicle treatment is so much more than what you hang on the underside of removable roof panels. The Bronco High package already has additional sound treatments in other parts of the vehicle --- on some models. But theres more that can be done, to reflect, stop, and absorb sound from inside and outside the vehicle. There are sound shops that do this if its important to you. The trouble is, theres not enough opportunity to test, experience and try out the Bronco to see what sound level you are willing to live with . . . And how much DIY time & money or shop money you're wiling to spend for an unknown level of sound reduction. For the panels, my research shows a multi-layer sandwich treatment is best, with several possible materials. Also the MIC panels core and sandwich construction helps some.
Those of us who ordered last February and March had to guess, if we had a hard top, as to whether to take the OEM sound treatment, free in the end, or deal with it later. Of course, Soft Top people already know it will be noisey.
I suggest you research vehicle acoustics, talk to a local sound system shop, or a national supplier of sound proofing material, and see what you're willing to do if you pass on the free head liner. The article below is a great start and has links to suppliers and sources and acoustical projects you could put your money into, maybe better than the free liner, if thats what you want to put your Bronco Customization money into. I'm satisfied that taking the OEM liner is fine for me for now, now you have to decide!

The liner goes all the way back and covers the entire rear clamshellI am wondering if the factory sound deadening headliner is only on the removable panels or is it also on the rear clam shell?
I find that a lot of the noise that I am hearing seems to be coming from behind me as if a window were left openā¦
Well, kind of. The liner covers the horizontal surfaces of the inside of the clamshell, the vertical surfaces are bare.The liner goes all the way back and covers the entire rear clamshell
Thanks for that.The liner goes all the way back and covers the entire rear clamshell
Who is washing the ceiling of their Bronco?!If you don't have a VIN yet, you should still be able to get your dealer to add it for free. They don't automatically include it on the BD and BL because they figure you were more concerned with washout ability.
Great question! Thats why i ordered the headliner in my BD lol i aint spraying the celing!Who is washing the ceiling of their Bronco?!
I told my dealer that if it comes without the head liner and was offered to me for free, that I would have no problem having it installed when it becomes available. He had no problem with that. We are on the same page.I picked up my Badlands 4 door Lux Nov 24th.
I had specified the headliner in my build but somehow it was overlooked.
My dealer contacted Ford and it will be installed under warranty because it was missed.
There is a lot of great information on this forum, but also a lot of BS.
The uncovered panels look great on my MIC 2.0, but the wind noise is effing ridiculous!!! (And Iām coming from a 2010 hardtop Jeep JK WITH NO LINERā¦)
Does Ford not have access to a wind tunnel?
Iām hoping that the headliner makes a huge differenceā¦
Thankfully the B&O system sounds great, so I just crank it up. (Iāve read reviews to the contrary and Iām absolutely baffled)
Maybe an aftermarket headliner is a better option and maybe that is what you (and I) should do, but it absolutely needs SOMETHING!
Right, me neither.Great question! Thats why i ordered the headliner in my BD lol i aint spraying the celing!
Thanks, doesn't look bad I am just wondering if it doesn't provide enough value, maybe I don't need it. I like the roof style, it's clean. With the sound deadening it's a little less good in my taste, but if it does the work, why not... I am on the fenceOk, here's two night flash photos.
