hmmm...I saw where the headliner is tucked into a pocket on both sides of windshield-side window posts as well as along the back (in (grey trim)

I would forego the roof screws, as I may not be experiencing that problem. I guess I could try and work out the pop-in domelite.

Once I had the headliner out, I pushed up on the roof to see if I had the 'cap squeak". I did. [emoticon]

That's not helping, Cheeze!

I went to study the whole headliner thing and see it is just too easily messed up by a large-handed guy who can't see details well.

So, maybe knowing what it is and having a loud radio might be as close as I get to "the peace of mind a well maintained motorcycle brings," to invoke my boy Pirsig.

It will bend, and perhaps wrinkle, but it goes back fine. I had to do it a few times 'cause I rerouted some wires as well.

Either a car audio shop or a body shop should be able to open it up, fix it, and put it back within an hour, I would think.

Snow, I bet the towel was to stop the cap to cab roof squeak Cheeze is talking about. If this squeak is like a bird chirping, then I have it too, and will need to put some type of screws or bolts in.

Cheeze, what did the squeak sound like? Whatm where and how many screws(bolts) did you drill?

Snow. you said you heard no squeaks even w/o towel - never anything like the chirping and or styrafoam rubbing?

I was thinking the squeaks resulted from the wood cabinetry rubbing against the vinyl coach ceiling material that was left in place when screwing cabinets to ceiling.

Me and Martha might get brave, or I might ask a friend if he feels up to it.

No squeaks here. I can't recall if there were any when the big old TV was up there.

we've got intermittent rub/squeak also.....from the very large TV stuffed in the center overhead. On smooth roads it is silent, but depending on temperature and road, it will work up a bit of noise. I struggled to stuff in a couple soft shims under the bottom corners, which 'helped' but didn't cure the problem. Will have to study further.

Made the kitchen quiet.....had a roll of surplus 1/8" foam sheet....stuffed a layer between each of the offenders---worked great!

Also found the bath blind has to be clipped down into brackets or it rattles.

Leaving Thursday on new voyage; likely to find new things to hunt down....

Bird chirping would be accurate. I used 3-4 drywall screws. That big tv came loose after a hard bump, which was the death knell of that POS.
