Theres nothing in the roof, just the 2 sheets of metal with an air gap inbetween.

My dad just used 2 very short metal screws to bolt it up there. It's been up there since 1991 and never came loose or anything.

But for in the next cab, I don't wanna do any holes, so I'll be using a strong magnet.

Thanks, I think I'll go the same route as your pops and put sheet metal screws in, very short ones.
