    Yea, TX too. Any storage on roof is worthless.

    OP, if you're willing to drop headliner, maybe insulate. The dash is big nough to handle cooking chores.

    Make sure the glasses are in the holder when drilling, it's in the manual.

    Just stop once you feel resistance. Step bits are for quitters. Just like I change my oil while the engine is running

    Ohh. I see a new trick jump. "The oil change", kick open the inlet and outlet on take off. Throw on it's side midair, then pour in oil from your boot.

    Yes...Or just wear the glasses, take them with you, store them temporarily, and place tacos in their place when not in use

    I say you drill in from the top through the sheet metal, that way you get complete truck ventilation through the sun glasses holder.

    Just don't close the sunglass holder door when you get out of the truck. Leaving it open makes a big difference or at least it did in my f150.

    I don't use the sunglasses holder as I like to store my glasses in their case and it won't fit. I store my sunglasses as per below and keep a bandanna in the sunglasses holder.
    Works for me.
