I'm in the process of installing an overhead console, and misjudged the height above the headliner, ive got some interference from the "beam" that goes across the top of the windshield

I am thinking about notching it out to fit the console, it would be a notch about 1/2" deep and 6-7" long

would this be safe? i know that its never a good idea to cut a roof support, but since it is a small area im wondering if i could get away with it... any insight?

if that doesnt work i will probably wind up making a fiberglass trim panel to drop the console down an inch or so to get the clearance i need

From a structural engineering point of view...

Oh wait, I'm not a structural engineer...:mbrasd:

Cut as much as you want, just make sure you never roll it & you should be OK...:smilewink

In other words...:_confused

Sorry Eric, I'm kinda bored & waiting for my shift to get over @ 0800.:yes:
