Talk me out of drilling into…

[Jaymbee]

The sound bar behind the dome light in order to mount a scosche magic mount for rear passenger tablet mounting entertainment for a upcoming road trip. Any wires in the sound bar near that location that could be a problem?

You will regret this. Got plugs for the holes after?

There was a guy on here that drilled into the center roof bar and hit a wire. Everything went haywire. it took quite some time to have it repaired. and $$$$

Use some 3M VHP tape

Get a seat mounted holder, drilling holes in the roof is never good.

Sounds like this might be a bolt on option exactly for what you want:

Could use a mount that clips on to headrest.

Not sure if car seats are in play but when our boys are loaded, the rear view mirror is near useless as-is. I can’t imagine how it would be with a screen in the line of view. That plus it’s just a wildly tight space to mount a sizable screen, the light thrown off would make the truck look like a Christmas light at night.

I'd see about mounting it on the center console or hanging it from one of headrests.

Speaker wires run thru there not much else. Pull the speakers out then you should be able to pull the harness out from the other end

Alien tape…. It’s amazing for applications like this.
Also, not permanent, in case you change your mind.

Don’t do it.

You’re welcome.

That is not the same location. That guy drilled in front of the sound bar. The location the OP is placing, there are only speaker cables running thru, it’s mostly Hollow and the harness can be moved fully out of the way via the speaker holes.
