| My car wont see snow, so I'm not concerned of the weight of snow or anything caving it in. My Concern is the structural integrity of the car being compromised. I was thinking weld in a support at the front, and at the rear, above the headliner for extra support.. I need opinions. The car will never be auto crossed, but "spirited driving" is my thing lol. This is one of my "big plans" that I was going to keep under wraps, but I dont want to ruin my car so i have to ask.. Any/all opinions/advise is appreciated! Thanks! -Paul Oh and BTW, My roof racks leak, and I hate when people sit in the back of my car and ask "how does the sunroof open", well, vista roof doesn't open. I figure this would take care of both of those issues. | |

| Those fold back sunroofs are great. They can stand up to heavy snow. Go for it. |

| Go for the full length roof! That'd be wicked pissah! And as far as structure goes, it should be fine. It's not a uni-body car. _________________ Bill "The Verb" Crovo - Resident Car Slut & Unicorn Hunter A Toasted Marshmallow, A Long German, A Lame Suburban and expensive dreams...

| Oh, I didnt get it. I was wondering why noone was concerned about structural integrity w/ glass. OK I'm on board now.

| Isn't there a bump on the Roadmaster roofs at the vista glass?

I dont think so, the Vista glass is there, then theres a roof rack filler thing at the back of the glass that turns into the roof racks.. Just so the vista glass doesnt just abruptly end.. I i think? Theres a roady at the junk yard with the vista glass removed, i didnt look at because i wasnt planning on this then, but it was just a smaller hole cut in the roof.. didnt notice a bump? | |
