i had a local shop do it for me they made me a vinyl pieace that allowed it to mount flush.

and i just had the rear controls removed, you could just have them moved to the side of the screen if needed


i would take pics but my camera got crushed by a bowling ball few nights ago

Can anybody tell me where I can screw into the roof to support a 15" screen and custom fabricated overhead console. We just bought a 2002 Limited and the dealer had a place install the DVD player. It looks (looked) great and they had to custom fab a new overhead console to incorporate the screen. However, now the screws have pulled out of the roof because they didn't hit any metal support pieces. They are too far away to conveniently return so I'm going to take a shot at it but I haven't received my service manuals yet. Without tearing up the headliner, I'd like to have some idea where to look for metal to screw into. Thanks in advance
