If am correct,has this van got a bead that runs down the front in the center of the van roof? If so,Can you see how bad the roof strut is? If all the screws are just turning on the alloy roof beading that join the roof panels it sounds like its rotten,First take the inside paneling out, remove the plastic beading that covers the central roof panel & center joint, carefully removing the staples,Cut the inside roof panels out as close as you can to the cupboards,unless you take the cupboards out useing a stanley knife,remove all the ceiling panel staples,The ceiling boards are ply backed, so be careful not to pull to hard with them.The joint over the window shelf is more difficult to remove, but i just cut along the shelf as the is timber there to stick the panel back too,Now all the inside panel is out,you will see the center strut, this is made in a few lengths i think four and glued & stapled togeather. If it is rotton, remove the staples that hold it in place, these staple are under the alloy beading on the roof which hold the outside panels to the stut. replace the timbers,
& insolation,I used adhesive & screws on the timber.The inside panels...paint PVA on the back to give them more them to strengh,when dry fit them to the van,put adhesive were the joints meet then staple the panels up, The cuts you made removing the panels can be filled with a flexable filler,If you were careful removing the panels,you wont tell that they have been removed.
Good luck
