Reducing Roof Flex on an Explorer?

[AQHDC3 10+ year member]

I have a 1995 Explorer (see sig for details). Just looking for a good way to brace my roof or do something to reduce how much it flexes. It is layered with 2 sheets of sound deadner. Anyone have any ideas? I would also like it to look some what decent. Thanks in advanced guys!

Get quieter subs? Throw up some mdf or something? Just a few ideas, idk though.

I installed 1'' wide x 1/4" thick steel strips in a cross-brace pattern between the existing roof braces in my Expedition. I mounted them with JB Weld(lol) before installing the deadener and then applied the deadener over them.

more deadner... that is a HUGE surface area... I'd say 4 layers. 3-layers got rid of all the flex in my cadillac and gained me like 1.8db....

I have 50sq.ft. of deadener for sale if you want it... $70 shipped
