99+ Roof Beam?

Anyone know if the 99+ Windstars have a central roof beam above the headliner? I can't find anything in the Ford documentation.
I'm probably going to install an aftermarket video system in my 2000 Windstar at some point this year. If there's no roof beam and only the headliner to support an overhead system, I'll probably go with a monitor on the roof and the DVD player under a front seat or in the console. But if there is a roof beam then it could support an all-in-one system with monitor and DVD player in one unit. Makes the wiring a little easier. My Windstar also has the rear AC so it does have the ducts in the same area.

My guess is, between any set of pillers, is a beam. A Piller holds up the top edge of your windshied. B Piller is rigt between the doors. C Piller is (God only Knows on a Windstar) The last Piller is right above the Hatchback.

I think most minivans have a central roof beam that runs from the front to the back of the vehicle. But I thought I read a past post that said the Windstar didn't have one, or didn't have one in the area of the rear vents. Unfortunately I can't find that post anymore and was hoping someone had taken a look. Seems like there's been several threads on dropping the headliner, must have been different years.
