Hey guys,

Thanks for the advice, and sorry I've taken so long to respond. Unfortunately, there are no roof panels on the inside of my box to remove -- the roof seems to be constructed of a sandwich of aluminum, foam, and then some sort of plywood veneer on the inside. This all appears to be glued together, or at least attached in some way that certainly does not allow for easy dissassembly.

So, I went ahead and built the steel structure on top of the roof with the steel plates on the inside to suck everything back into place -- It's not pretty, but it seems to be getting the job done -- I've driven the truck about 4000 miles since then, and it seems to be holding up fine. I realize that this isn't the proper way to fix things, but unfortunately my box doesn't seem to have been constructed in the proper way in the first place, so I don't know what else to do.

Thanks again,
Walter
