I have two sundown 10" in my XLT and the rear view mirror shakes so much its rendered useless when I am bumping. I have not noticed a rattle yet...or just can't hear it!
Yeah, it is not hard to drop that headliner console. Just a couple clips!

You could also try putting some butyl rope/tape in there to stop whatever is rattling. I use the stuff on clips and other interior bits to keep them quiet. You can find the stuff at most hardware stores or on Amazon. I gave dhmcfadin a bunch for his truck too. I hope he uses it where ever there are rattles.

That looks great! Any idea on how many sq ft it would take to do everything(doors, roof, and behind rear bench)?

Hush will know better than I on the roof but here is what I used:
Back wall: 9 sheets
Front Doors: 12 sheets
Front Door Panels: Not Complete
Rear Doors: 12 sheets
Rear Door Panels: 6 sheets
Each sheet is 12" x 20" so 39 sheets = 65 sq ft

Believe it or not, I actually need to order some more damplifier pro to finish the front door panels. The stuff is phenomenal and the butyl rope is great for wrapping around the hard to reach areas in the inner door skin.

For the roof of the truck, you'll want to use Overkill Pro on top of the Damplifier Pro to help kill a ton of outside noise. The roof is the most common missed spot to deaden due to the install being intimidating. It's really not that difficult once you've started. Fair warning is that once the roof is completed the whole truck will feel funny to you at first due to the tomb-like sound. You can hear your own voice more and it's awkward haha.

Hey Bruce, do you recommend doing the roof even if I have the pano sunroof? There isn't a ton of surface area that's metal. That sunroof is pretty big.

No, it's not really needed since the sunroof takes up much of that area. I don't have a sunroof so it would help in my application.
