Overhead DVD & Headliner Install
#11
horrible install. the proper way would have been to slide a 3/4" of MDF into the headliner and secure it to the roof with silicone. then mount the screen to the headliner. otherwise it will begin to sag and its alot easier to steal that way.
believe me i have seen too many botched jobs, saggy headliners, and kids who pulled the headliner and screen down.

I wanted to add that I don't have kids nor would I let kids touch my screen. One reason why my install will be just fine.

It looks good to me, but I would also worry about the weight pulling down on the head liner. I added a map light to the front panal in front of my sunroof. The weight of it was pulling down on the panal, so I had to add screws to make it more secure. If possible, a little silicone glue would not hurt to help secure the mounting plate. Personally, I always use wood as an interface for mounting things. I just installed my amp on the back of the rear seats. (Photos will soon follow). The rigid piece of plastic easily comes off, and I was thinking about mounting the amp directly to it. But, instead I attached a piece of stained and poly'd plywood. Since it is a little bigger than necessary, I have room to install things like crossover, fuse block, etc.
But what would really concern me is your vision being blocked looking out the rear view mirror.

I've been doing installs for years and this thing first off doesn't weigh that much and is motorized. So there is no pulling it down. My write up is how I installed it. There are other option such as with plywood method. My write up atleast gives someone a point of reference where to begin. And I don't know about horrible install it looks extemely clean to me.

I ran my power wire down the driver side door pillar. The 12volt constant wire went straight to the battery, I grounded it right at the lower door pillar and ran the accessory wire to the fuse box with a add a circuit in slot #21.

The famous #21, I thought so. I'm beginning to think that we need to get Chevy to put in two or three more #21's
