Will this drive brads in metal like a car roof interior? Need to hold headliner down.

I had a hard time putting it in to wood so I don't think metal is gonna work at all. Its not as strong as I had hoped so it is now my small job tool for touch ups mainly. I went and bought a real nailer.

Yes, it has a very strong magnet that will hold it to most flat, metal surfaces. I added a length of synthetic rope (para cord) to it in the event that a bump in the road caused the magnet to let go and this has worked well so far. Also, the fact that it is made out of plastic keeps it from rusting from rain and winter road salt.

I keep mine in my car because I am on the road a lot. I have a different model at home. It falls on the floorboard from the console and gets kicked around a bit by passengers. Made of metal and solid plastic. It is always charged because I set it on the center console when I am parked so the sun can charge it. When heading down the interstate and I see a huge storm cloud I just turn it on to find out what to expect. Great radio.

It is magnetic, it will hold any ferrous metal (steel, iron). I use it to put bumper stickers on the body of my car, that way they are not permanant. Hope this helps.

Yes Rich, as long as the auto roof is made of STEEL. The magnet is one of the strongest holding magnets I have ever seen. And the long whip, once tuned really adds to a good Cb. Doran

I'm not sure how you would make it attach to a headliner (wouldn't work like that on any of my cars). I would think another concern would be ensuring it's at the right angle and that the car's metal roof isn't interfering with the signal. The good thing about using the visor, is you can adjust the angle of the detector for optimal reception.

it should pick up metal of any kind you can adjust the sensor to fine tune it

It probably will, but on that type of metal its likely to run easily, so be careful. It worked great on an old muffler, holding up fine.

It's an extremely powerful magnet. I don't have a tarp to test it out but my strong sense is if you got a few of these they'd hold a tarp down easily. But remember there's a lot of "non-metal" material in cars these days. Just sayin...

Just like the other guy said, you can tuck it into the headliner, or you can go below the carpet. Make sure to measure it out first before ripping anything up.

Yes, my car rattles like crazy due to this subwoofer. Depending on how high you set the base to, you will feel it in your bones. This also depends on what kinda of amp you pair it with. Good luck, hope my answer helped.

Yes, depending where its lodged. I haven't tried it but it should its metal.

Thank you. This flashing is not designed for a metal roof application. It can be done but it would be very difficult. Solar Blaster

I assume that you're wanting to use this on a temporary basis to protected the headliner while you're doing interior work or something. If you're planning on a permanent install, it won't be the most attractive product. But, you should be ok with this as a temporary protectant. It's pretty sticky but shouldn't damage vinyl headliners. On the mouse-fur or velour type headliners, don't press it on too hard and you should still be ok. When you remove it, you'll probably have fibers attached to the sticky but it shouldn't pull it bald. You might also consider using Glad Cling Wrap from your local grocery store. It's similar but thinner. Might be easier to just remove the trim and take the headliner out. Good luck.

Don't put this down under Dynamat type sheets.I have Dynamat installed and that is all you will need.The sheets need to be installed on clean surface which this does not provide.It could be used on the outside of the metal under the car/truck but not with the other sheets.

Lets think. Cars made from sheet metal don't always withstand hailstorms. If it is the garden variety hailstorm that doesn't dent you'd car, I think it would be fine. If it is the major hailstorm that dents your car, better cover this thing up.
