So i recently bought a abused 2001 CH and the roof is caved in, to the point when it rains i have standing water up there! but i was wondering would i be worth a try to put a piece of wood on the floor and a jack on that with a 2by4 and try to jack the roof up?

Seems like that should work? Not like you can mess it up anymore lol

michaelOH

true unless the floor has invisable rust and the jack is pushed through the floor! lol

stock95sport(for now)

i would take the headliner out, put my boots on, lay on my back and push up w my feet, mostly where the metal is actually "creased". get those spots back up and the dished part will pop right up.

That will work, but remember to work it up slowly and somewhat evenly. And dont forget to remove the headliner first.

michaelOH

Yah my brother tried that but I didn't work to well

Spread the weight with plywood or else you'll have some ugly dents

michaelOH

Yah I was thinkin that too

michaelOH

It dosnt need to be to pretty It will be covered by a rack in a month or two

MTLXJ

Well not only dents, but if you have bad rust you can put a hole though the top.

michaelOH

There's only a little surface rust I should be ok

Morat

I'm quoting that for future use

michaelOH

Lol famous last words for an old vehicle. Huh

michaelOH

So I tried to get the dents out with the jack with limited success I'm gonna try again later in the week
