Alpine vs Standard Roof Kits — Which Defender 90 Headlining Kit Suits You?

Defender owners often wonder: “Should I get the Alpine option or stick to standard?” Let’s unpack which Defender Headlinings Kit suits your interior goals perfectly.

Comparing the Kits

Why Composite Over Cloth?

Both kits use textured composite cores for rigidity, moisture resistance, and easy cleaning—a superior alternative to original sagging cloth liners.

Who Should Pick What?

  • Alpine roof owners: Go for the cut-out kit—perfect fit and effortless setup.

  • Standard roof owners: The windowless kit maintains your roof’s original look while offering all the upgrades.

Choose the headlining kit that matches your roof type—Alpine-ready or standard—and elevate your Defender's interior with confidence.
