Default Overhead DVD Mount

I got tired of the ghetto mount I had holding up my overhead screen, so I made this new one last week. What do you think?

How did you attach that to your roof? It looks heavy.

It's actually only a few pounds. I dropped the headliner a little and slipped a 1x4 above it. I then screwed my new mount into the 1x4.

^^^^^^^^^I imagine it's just lying there sandwiched between the headliner and the roof. Only thing holding up the entire set-up is the headliner itself. i duno, maybe I'm dilerious or something??? That's how it seems.
