Re: Recommendations for mounting an overhead console?
When I was upgrading the interior of my v6 01 silverado to the V8 package, one final thing was the overhead console. I purchased the oe bracket and then fouund out its glued in... never used that bracket. I mounted it using some thick (maybe 18gauge..) sheet metal, and used the grey 3m double sided tape (the grey with red backing)... basically how ever the factory bracket mounted, i made a brakcet that had alot of surface area that wouuld mount to the roof, and then it droped down to the botom of the headliner, then back to the roof. used the d/s tape to stick it to the roof (obviousy) did that for all of the mounting points and felt super sturdy and everything.. lasted for atleast 2 years (after that i sold the truck to a friend..)
Personally I would never drill into a headliner sheet metal.. never just becuase if you sneezed and drilled through the top or something of that nature... anyway, just posting up what i did.
