I'm pretty sure that he is doing this because he doesn't fit into the vehicle without the seat being reclined, well into the rear seat area.

I think the stock in Duct Tape is going to go up because that is going to be the saving grace for this OP in respect to keeping something in place to cover the opening he has left until he figures out what to do to properly correct it.

Train wreck.

If it were me, I'd weld in a solid roof .....

I HAVE had nearly 10 years of figuring it out in my head as it bounces off the damn freaking roof!
