hey guys. apparently the glasstop on an ef8 tends to pop out or pillars 'flex' causing the glass to jar open under hard cornering or serious track work. does anyone know who can make up or buy such a thing. this would also help stability im sure?
cheers. here's a pic

never seen those before or heard of problems with the glass.
i've got normal boot struts going across the top of my rear sussy (gotta chop into plastic cover to fit it)

you mean just a normal rear strut brace panda?? i took all the plastic out so cutting into it wont be an issue. i actually want to have both. you guys think the pic is overkill??

those are C pillar ( or b...i never get it right ) bars - which connect via both sides on the main seat belt bolts. Used for the usual chassis reinforcment...but ive never heard tthem to "pop" out ?
