Body Flex,Add Bar,,??
This is about body flex,,I have the glass moonroof,and i know that
a car body without a sun,moon roof is stronger,more rigid,,you know
the drainage curbs on the streets,where theres a main road,with side
streets,sometimes its concrete,and when you go over them,they turn
out to be way bigger then you thought,,i guess there street gutters,,
well when i go through them(at an angle)my moonroof makes noise,
like glass stressing,,when its down,,,and thats body flex,,now if,
i install a strut brace,will that help ?? or is it a sway bar and bushing
deal,,,If i design a bolt in brace,right above the storage bins,that ties
the left and right sides,right where the seatbelt shoulder harness bolts
to the car,,do you think that may work,to add stiffness,,powder coat
the bar or chrome it,,i think it might work some,,,good,,bad,,idea ??

A strut brace wouldn't hurt.. although I hear these cars are really stiff for being a unibody. I put front & rear strut bars on my '92 Civic and it used to plow and flex like a piece, now it handles pretty well.
