Sound Deadening and Insulation for Defenders
Our much-loved Land Rover Defenders can be on the noisy side at times; however, the good news is that this can be alleviated with Sound Deadening and Insulation sheets. There are no quick fixes to reduce road and engine noise and if you want the problem solved properly it requires a bit of work, but in the end, you’ll be happier with the vast improvement in the quality of the drive. Unwanted noise is created within most vehicles, especially the Land Rover Defender. This occurs across most parts of the vehicle, such as the doors, the engine bay etc. All of which need to be treated using several different methods to achieve worthwhile results.
Headlining / Roof Lining KIT for Land Rover Defender 90 Station Wagon / Hardtop
These Masai Headlinings for the Land Rover Defender 90 are manufactured by highly experienced automotive trimming craftsmen. The shell/body is made of a special GRP which is more rigid and longer-lasting than the original Defender lining. The plush suede-effect lining is glued and pressed to the special GRP body in one process at high temperature and under pressure making it both luxuriously good looking and hard wearing.
Optional Extras Note: We highly recommend that you read all about the optional extras below, e.g. matching Sun Visors, A-post finishers, lamps, grab handles, etc.

Masai Headlining Features and Benefits
- Our Defender 90 roof linings / headlinings are manufactured by Masai craftsmen; highly experienced in the automotive trimming business.
- All our headlining shells are produced exactly to the Land Rover roof lining shape.
- Made from special GRP, which gives a much better rigidity than the Land Rover thermoplastic biscuit material. This will also provide a much longer lasting roof lining, and will no longer absorb any roof condensation that causes the common problem of sagging over time.
- Our headlinings have a plush suede-like finish for that extra touch of style and is hand glued to each individual roof section.

- Internal Grab Handles (rear) - You may also need a pair of these internal rear grab handles to help secure the telephone piece above the rear door. Billet Aluminium and ABS versions.
- Pair of Alpine Window Inserts - If you DO NOT have factory-fitted Alpine windows, we highly recommend you buy these optional Alpine window inserts to fill the gaps inside of the roof. If you DO have Alpine windows our headlinings accommodate the windows and you do not need these optional inserts.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
(click to expand and contract)
- First, remove your old headlining, the telephone piece first, then the back section and interior lights, the sun visors, the rear-view mirror then the front section.
- When fitting our headlining, start from the front and work backwards.
- Fit the front piece using the fir trees provided in your kit.
- Fit the left hand and right side pieces in the back the same way.
- Fit the telephone piece.
- Fit the metal strip provided that covers the split down the middle of the rear section.
If your existing holes don't match up with our headlining, then you will need to drill additional holes (I'd suggest you drill the holes in the headlining to match your Defender, instead of drilling in the Defender roof to match our headlining). We purposefully covered all the pre-drilled holes with material for this reason.
Defenders have changed a lot over the years and Land Rovers kept messing with the holes locations!
If you are upgrading your Defender from a Van to a Station Wagon we would recommend that you purchase the interior lamp the new roof lining will have a hole cut out for it. The interior lamp fitting and it's bracket will also help secure the roof lining properly.
You may also need a pair of grab handles to help secure the telephone piece above the rear door (sold separately).
