what i did was stuff a doubled over flease blanket in between that and the roof. Kept the subs from rattling it...Other that that, your roof is very thin it will conform to the supports

that is the problem the supports sits lower then the roof so when you push down on the roof to where it meets up with the support the roof does not look right. the supports seem to be lower then it should be.
