i been looking around on the forums and all i can find is to install a flip down one needs to either glue a 3/4 mdf wood to the top then screw in the screen. I have a 1992 honda accord and i will be installing a 17 inch screen and there is not much room between the head liner and the ceiling of the car. i dont have a sun roof. The tv is pretty heavy so i am scared that the glue wont hold and with heat the screen will come crashing down. I need a bit of advice and also maybe some pics with cars with a similar problem. Thank You for your guys help

if you can screw into the center brace that would be best to help support it, just make sure the screws are short or you will be going through the roof, depending how far you are tearing apart the car you can also use some sheet metal or thicker sheet alum and brace it across the roof.
There are 10 types of people in the world, ones that understand binary and ones that dont.

i am just a bit hesitant to rip a hole in the head liner and then not be able to do it. But should i still use glue to reinforce the screws. Should i get screws that will go through the wood and the beam or should i make a plate of sheat metal or something like that and screw that in then the tv. I know some flip downs come with a plate but this one didn't. The brand is AVE has any one heard of this one. I am just scared to make a hole and then not be able to finish. Maybe some pics of this simmilar problem will help thanks

Um, I have a swift which has less room inbetween the headliner than your car, and btw I did a 12 in a civic before and had no problems. Siliconing the board to the roof then screwing the screen to the board will work fine. I did in both the previously mentioned cars and had no problems

so Ravendarat are you saying that the heat will not have and effect on the silicone if it is glued directly on their? i willing to try anything but i just don't want it to come down mid summer. What kind of silicone did you use (havent worked with that before)
