    Ever wonder what supports the roof panel? Not much!

    I was a little surprised to see that there is no cross bracing in the roof (at least in the coupe). Not sure how useful the info is, but be careful what you put on top of your car! (Remember the photo of the CB7 with a snowmobile on the roof? http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showpost...&postcount=427)

    Wow! I've only ever pulled the headliner in my EX cars and there is quite a bit more cross bracing to be found there.
    My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!

      Hmmm. Not much there at all. Maybe the sunroof(moonroof?) equipped cars have more bracing.

          Looked at Majestic's site; there isn't any more support in a sedan roof or the EX as part of the body structure; all the cross bracing in the EX is a bolt in structure for the sunroof assembly. There doesn't even seem to be a cross brace in the wagon roof.

          Edit: Curious that there is so much bracing in the trunk and hood, but nothing in the roof.
