flip down screen

i was wondering if it would be possible to mount a flip down screen on the roof in between the t-tops for a dvd player, i think it would be really cool, but not sure if it would fit, and how hard it would be to do


thanks

I've thought of doing this too, but then I realized that it would be much better to mount it on some type of swing-out arm from the dash... I'm putting my 10" screen on a mount like this right where my glovebox "pouch" is... I'm prolly going to cover the back of the screen with the pouch itself, maybe I can make it look like its not there when I flip it around...

It can be done and would look pretty sweet, just would attract thieves like no other.....

They break the T-Top, reach in, pull hard, and run.......15 seconds later it's gone.....

just make sure you have a good insurance plan, or an even better car alarm... and to top it all off... make sure all of your stuff is mounted covertly... you don't want flashy stuff that says steal me damnit!
