Cab headliner shelf

Has anyone added a shelf in the cab?

I'm thinking it's time to take the headliner off for adding some insulation and figure out if there's anywhere to add brackets for a bigger shelf - but I can't figure out what search term to use to find YouTube vids for doing it on the scudo so wondering if it's not possible

Re: Cab headliner shelf

I did, I added a sheet of plywood on the inside of the plastic shelf and put screws through the holes to hold it in place. No need to remove the headliner, but I did shave down the lip on the edge of the shelf

Re: Cab headliner shelf

yes ive done it, totally removed the plastic original shelf and installed a thin but strong ply sheet between the front and my bulkhead. its reduced the head height but has given me a useful cupboard with plenty of space. its only accessible from inside the back of the van though

<span class="postimg"><img src="https:/ …  /></span>Thanks

I've taken the headliner off and discovered there's a hole in the roof by the aerial. How I've not had an internal leak from that with the amount of rain we've had, I don't know.

Wondering if my sills are full of water...

Looks like it's always been there, it's really neat.

Re: Cab headliner shelf

Update - It's where the aerial cover would have clipped in. Which is long gone.

Filler time.
