That part of the roof is solid as hell. Straight up thud when I knock on it. I think this is going to help tremendously.

lookin good bro, maybe should have done that to the whole roof before deadening the rear part //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/idea.gif.5acb6a39a9b92425414c316dda202bad.gif

I only wanted to do that part behind the sunroof.

have you tested it yet bro?

No I haven't. Waiting to get my new iPod in where my last one got jacked. CD's skip when the roof is flexing.

That's not all I'm going to do either, I'm going to cross brace it too.

Finished putting the wood on the roof.

You should get some lead sheeting and also mount it to the roof, i filled part of my trunk with concrete to help lower the resonant frequency and it made a MAJOR difference in the low low notes. Adding mass to the floppy parts of a vehicle is always gonna lower the resonant frequency of the car, and help stop flex. Add some more weight to the roof while youre under there.
