I got a few questions hope some sifu can explain and give some details
1. Those cars that originally come with sunroof is its chasis body rigid or less-rigid because of the sunroof compared to a similar model without sunroof.
2. For cars that don't originally come with sunroofs I see there are two methods used to make it;
i) chop the original roof and replace with one chopped from a car which has it. would it mean that the chasis body is less rigid as the roof was choppped off and replaced with another?
ii) cut a hole and install a 3rd party sunroof modification. would cutting a hole to install it make the chasis less rigid than option (i) or same?
I'm more interested in chasis strength and rigidlity for a car with original sunroof and/or with a modified one. Would the roof stand the car weight if turtled or in an accident? Would there be more bodyroll and unbalance during corners? etc.
Water leaking is secondary. Thanks in advance :lol:
