    Slicktop or Sunroof- Which has the best chassis rigidity?

    I ask because my new 91' is a slicktop and I hear the windows creak (the chassis flexing) a lot more when I enter driveways at angles than I did in my old 91' with a sunroof. I think the extra metal/welding from the sunroof cartridge may had actually been good for something other than rusting. :)

    Both cars have the exact same suspension setup.


    So which does R3V think has the better rigidity in a late model 4 door?


    BTW I do have strut bars installed.

                          I have a 4 door with a sunroof, I am deleting it. Now mine it twice as stiff: mind blown.
