How strong is a T-Top roof???
Does anyone know how strong the back half of a T-Top roof is? The part that is attached to the hatch and sail panels.
I've seen pictures of people sitting up there before on 2nd/3rd/4thgens. Can you have two people up there without any problems?

I dont know how strong it is but I know for a fact that T-top cars take away from the body strength.

Back when I was in High school, long time ago
88 to be exact, My friend sat on top of his sisters 87 firebird during a homecoming parade, no probs at all. Granted the car was only a year old at the time, but it seemed ok, no dents or warpage.
