I have an 07 SCREW and I I just bought the Alpine PKG-RSE2 Overhead monitor. My truck came with the overhead rails for the bins so Im wondering what is the safest way to remove everything. Has anyone else on here with the overhead rails that has installed an aftermarket monitor in their truck. I will be sure to take pics for those who are also looking to do this mod. I wont get the screen until Monday (3/31), than Im probably going to send it out to have it painted the same color as my headliner (this is still up in the air), then I will install it with pics.

 

Please take pics I have had the hardest time finding info on installing a overhead monitor.

 

I will do. It seems as if no one has done this mod b4, guessing by the responses.

 

I'll be following this as well. I just finished putting in 3 amps, subs, door speakers and an Avic Z1, so now all I need to complete the project is a drop down screen. I found the rail mount shroud on e-bay a while back, but it's "made for" Audiovox units. I should be able to get a different brand in there as long as it comes with the insert.
We'll see

 

keep me posted. UPS will be bringing my screen later on today. I will take pics

 

I had a drop down monitor in my super duty I used to have but being that my F150 has a moonroof I didnt want the screen that far behind it. I went with Headrest monitors. TView now makes a kit that is like 350 for both with the color matching pretty damn close. My drop down though, I did not remove the headliner. I just cut the headliner out where I needed to where the monitor was going to sit. Way less headache. Good luck guys.
