Making your roof rigid, what does it take?


kryptonite

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

Check out the first to pages of the burb build. Add mass. Make it some what level with wood and Pl glue. Then add a straight sheet. Done.

Wall that bitch Jan quit fucking around. ;)
