Default How to mount?

What do I need to do to install an overhead screen in the xB. I mean, do I need to take down the headliner, and epoxy a piece of wood up there, so I can screw the screen plate to it or what? Any ideas would be appreciated.

how would I mess up my vehicle by epoxying a board to my roof? Wiring is not the problem, and I could tig a bracket if I had to, I was just curious as to the normal way of installing them. Thanks for the input, and once I'm done, I'll post up pics.

You can mount the monitor to a peice of wood above the headliner.
No need to attach it to the underside of the roof.
You just sandwich the headliner so to speak between the wood block
and the monitor.
The peice of wood will hold the monitor no problem.
Make sure that the wood is oversized for support.
As long as the monitor isnt a huge one.
Then more rienforcement is needed.
