    for the quick fix you're after-without some pics its hard to see what you're dealing with and describe a jimmy up fix-from what youve described and what the other guys said i reckon make incisions in the wood in even distances up to the roof skin, jack roof up with a porta power using a flexible long bit of wood on top between your brace and the porta power to spread the load and take up the slack in the roof evenly, when you have it where you want it squirt some automotive adhesive sealant, urethane, sikaflex, whatever on the sides of the wood brace you have in your roof you made the cuts in (dont get mixed up with the windscreen adhesive that doesnt set), clamp the ply you have to the sides on the urethane with wood clamps laminating it like scotter said and put some screws in the ends and middle to hold it and leave it overnight till urethane sets. urethane will have some give it wont just crack like a wood contact adhesive if it gets movement or shaken around from the road surface when driving
