Use either wood or metal sheet as a mounting base. Depending on the weight and the size of the flip down, this would be the determining factor for me as far as material goes for the mounting plate. If it's heavy, then use metal as you do not want the flip down to come loose when the screen is being pulled down.

Yes, you have to place the metal inbetween the headliner and the roof of the vehicle. The tricky part is positioning the plate in the proper position, but it's not vital that it is squared off because you will not see it anyway, just make sure that you have enough of  the plate that the screws can bite into.

The headliner will hold the weight of the flip down unit no problem. The trick now is to get betweent he head liner and the roof so you can position the mounting plate.
