In my experience you have to just find out  how much room you are working with in between the headliner and the sunroof enclosure.  if their is enough room glue a thin piece of MDF to the ceiling make a hole for your wires through the headliner and then drill short screws through the headliner into the piece of MDF the hold up the screen...

I had an overhead all in one installed in my Tahoe.  They slid a peice of wood between the headliner and the roof. Now, the weight of the unit has caused the three pegs in the ceiling to fall out. Make sure,  who ever installs it attaches it to a cross member in the roof. Other wise, it will put additional strain on your head liner. I know of three Tahoe's with the same problem. One was installed by a different shop.

I installed a monitor only into our 2001 Suburban witha sunroof.  We dropped the headliner and took a piece of 1/4" luan board cut about 8"x12" and mounted it on the roof frame just in front of the front dome lights and onto the back rail that the sunroof closes into.  No problems at all.  This was an 8" monitor so there's not a lot of weight but the plywood could have stood more.  Just be cautious if you do it yourself, the wiring harness's that are above the headliner are glued to it not clipped in so the headliner will only actually drop about 8"-10" at most.  You can use a heat gun I was told to release them if you like.  This would have made the installation a lot easier so live and learn.  Email me if you have any more questions.  Good luck!
