Overhead DVD player

Did anyone install an overhead DVD player?
Something like this: http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...77RM850W&tp=77

How did you attach it? Did you need to remove the ceiling light fixture in order to install the player?

thats just a screen not a dvd player.... you would have to remove the dome light and probably most of the headliner as well

Just took the first link.
Was jsut wandering if the headliner would support the weight. I took a look at the installation video on Crutchfield's web site and they jsut slide a metal plate under the headliner and attach the player to it. Not bolted to the roof itself.

are we talking between the headliner and the roof panel or what? I mean the headliner is really just foam with material on it isn't it?
