[QUOTE="Vogey84, post: 8759336, member: 680569"] I want to reduce the amount of flex in my navigators roof. Atm it flexes to the point you'd think it was hyperventilating. I'd like to keep the factory head liner if possible. I've got a couple ideas. home depot has 8th inch thick flat steel 2" wide 48" long grab some of them and use panel adhesive to glue em a few inches apart side to side then put deadener between the strips. Then use pl3x to stick layers of 1/4" (what Ever it takes to be flush with factory brace) plywood over top between factory braces. Fill in gaps with kitty hair. If there's room a 4x8 sheet over everything. A layer of ccf between headliner and roof. If I can't get headliner to fit go 3/4" sheet over everything put 3/4" sheet over the rear side windows (braced with strips of 3/4 on glass side) , and seal off the very back from the roof to top of the box. pretty much turning it into a 6th order though. Unleashing an entirely new set of problems [/QUOTE]
