kryptonite Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Trying to make my explorer roof more rigid by adding wood. I see plenty of people use kerfing lines to bend the plywood or mdf to the roof contour. One question I have is, better to use thicker sheets or multiple layers of thinner sheets to meet level to the ribs running side to side for one final cover sheet? I'll be using PL adhesive to hold everything. Need this to be good so I can build off of it for more louds. Thoughts? Comments? Concerns? Pearls of wisdom perhaps?

bcbrassard Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I would would think anything with less seems or layers would be better imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Slaps Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I've heard of people cutting small straps out of a full sheet and screwing it to the roof supports. Personally I've used sound deadener only on my old crx. Worked for how small it was. I've also used expanding foam but you have to be careful and make sure you have enough relief holes to allow it to expand and not flex the sheet metal roof. There's tons of different ways to go about it. The search button works wonders on this site. I Rock 4 Doors 4 More Whores!

3vil Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Kerf'd MDF and PL should make for a very rigid structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonite Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 It's a 4 door. I've used the search but only found builds, no definitive "this is better than this". I know that expanding foam works but the ribs were filled with urethane to the roof skin when the previous owner had a new skin installed so those aren't an issue lol. I'm thinkin about walling the explorer which is why I'm doing this.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

mrd6 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Go with thinner sheets and laminate multiple layers. If you can mirror the natural arch that is in the roof skin it will be a much stronger structure.
