    i had that issue as well.. but looking at how this console was held into the blazer... it was only held in two places, one in the front and one in the back.. so i figure i can do just like maverick did and mount a couple screws through the stock dome light location and then a sheet metal nut clipped on the headliner for the front.. i think it should hold pretty well

    Looks very nice...after seeing MAV's overhead console project I went on the search for my project. Mine came out of a Ford Windstar. Been in around two years and I love it...fits the roof line perfect..

    Includes.. Dome lights, Pop down Convex mirror (to watch the kids in back), Change holder, Sunglasses compartment and consealed door opener push panel. Also has rear volume controls for back seat passangers, not completed.

    Sorry for the quality of the pic's...old camera

    Vcrossfan,

    Do you remember which year model it came from?

    Are all the Ford Windstar overhead consoles the same, or did they vary from year to year?

    Hey Henry: I'm sure it was out of a 99. Buy looking on ebay they look to be the same from 98-01. Here's A good pic of one just like mine and Here's one for a fairly good starting bid price but a bad pic (shipping alittle higher than some). You have to trim some of the inner structure but once you do the original outer structure conforms great with our headliners. Good Luck ! !

    OK, thanks for the eBay info.

    How did you attach the console to the head liner?

    another idea for an overhead

    I found an overhead that I think fits pretty well too..
    still havent mounted it, but this is how I expect it to fit.
    Offers more map lighting, compass and temp too.

    (resurrecting old posts is fun )

    Do you want to sell one of the OEM Vehicross Dome Lights? If so, let me know how much and how to get the money to you, we will try to do a deal.

    Sorry, misread that..

    I really shouldn't try to carry on a conversation so late at night. Really tired. "Honest occifer, I'm not as think as you drunk I am, I've got dain brammage."

    It does need a 5 V voltage regulator, though ($1.29 Radioshack) on the + input.
