Yes, it is possible to install a starlight headliner on a Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator hardtop. The process will involve removing the existing headliner and replacing it with a starlight headliner system.
Here are a few considerations for installing a starlight headliner on a Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator hardtop:
Compatibility: Ensure that the starlight headliner kit you choose is specifically designed for the Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator model and the corresponding hardtop variant. Manufacturers often offer headliner kits that are tailored to fit the dimensions and mounting points of these vehicles.
Hardtop Removal: You will need to remove the hardtop from your Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator to access the existing headliner and proceed with the installation. This typically involves removing bolts or screws that secure the hardtop to the vehicle's body. Refer to the vehicle's owner manual or specific instructions for your model to properly remove the hardtop.
Headliner Removal: Once the hardtop is removed, you will need to detach the existing headliner from the hardtop. This may involve removing screws, clips, or other fasteners that hold the headliner in place. Take care not to damage the hardtop or other components during the removal process.
Starlight Headliner Installation: Follow the manufacturer's instructions provided with the starlight headliner kit for the installation process. This usually involves securing the starlight headliner fabric to the hardtop using adhesive or other recommended methods. Ensure proper alignment and tension of the fabric for a neat and professional look.
Wiring and Lighting: If the starlight headliner system includes LED lights, you may need to route and connect wiring for the lights. This may involve drilling holes in the hardtop for wiring access and connecting the lights to a power source. Follow the electrical installation instructions provided with the starlight headliner kit and ensure safe and secure wiring connections.Click here for more installation details.

If you're not comfortable with DIY installations or lack experience, it's recommended to seek professional assistance to ensure a proper and safe installation.
