How is your frame holding up? I noticed slight creases on my body right about the doors. I'm worried about the rigidity of the body. I know that anytime any aftermarket roof is installed, rigidity is affected... but I didn't know it was like this. Any other box owners have the same thing? Do you think sways and strut bar would help?

THanks all!

Did they have to cut through the rib brace on the top? I have been hearing conflicting things about its purpose. A few sunroof guys have told me that its there just to stop roof sag and vibrations and that this would be compensated for by the aluminum frame of the sunroof, but others (on this board) have said that its there for frame/body support. I'd be interested to know what they did with your install as this has been this issue that has been keeping me from deciding how large of a sunroof to get.

Anyways, sorry to hear about your roof. :cry:

I have no idea what/how they installed it. All I know is that they put in the roof that would go in a Seqouia. I'll bring it to the shop sometime this week and have them check it out.
