Okay I have an aftermarket DVD and the monitor bounced badly. I found out shortly after I put it in the even the factory system was terrible. They finally came out with a "TSB fix" which replaced the bracket that supports the front of the overhead console. I should clarify that this is for Armada's with sunroof's. Anyway the bracket is like $100 and supposedly takes 2 to 3 hours to install. My dealership ended up doing it for me for free as I have had a long ongoing quality issue with them and they were being nice guys.
Well the new bracket did do some good but not like I had hoped. Lets say without out it the acceptability of the roof shake was a 3 and with the bracket it was a 6.
I won't go into the dealership issues I had this morning (already did that in another post), but I will tell you how to anchor the overhead so that there is no shake. What I did was take 2 3/4" self tapping metal screws and put them in the bracket where it crosses the center roof support beam.
It's very easy to do and makes a HUGE difference. I took and bolted the bracket up in place and then just screwed the screws into the rear side of the roof support beam. You just need to put the scews in far enough away from where the console snaps up through the bracket that they don't interfere with it. You should see the slot in the bracket for the snap so it's no big deal to miss.
If you have a DVD and the roof shake annoys you I would highly suggest you do this. With these two little screws the acceptability of the roof shake is a 10. It's as solid as the front overhead bin now.
