Roof metal = embarrassingly weak? - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Curious, so I checked it out. The roof appears to be steel.

Either way, I'm terrified for any size hail. Heck, who knows what a hard rain will do!

Dented mine with my elbow putting in a sharkfin antenna. 200 bucks to a PDR guy to make it disappear. I'm not getting near the roof ever again.

Ahhh .... so Skittles are what gets stuck between your spikes when you walk down the golf course fairway.

Perhaps the OP parked near a golf course?

ain't seen one of those in a while! last i heard they was
indigenous to australia! the "aussies" use the excrement
to fertilize their gardens,or if they is feelin' adventurous,they will
roll up the excrement into "baseballs",and play catch! not MY idea of fun,
but then again i am NOT australian.

I'm doing some testing as we speak, skittles vs m&ms vs goodn plentys and for control, we're using unicorn poop. I'll be testing these in high altitude, high heat and track conditions.

One day, at band camp, I was blinded by a rainbow and almost lost control. I narrowly missed a prancing unicorn - but still got covered with glitter. I was walking then, but it was pretty odd.

Hm...Wonder if that Opticoat will do anything to help prevent dents. It is a ceramic coating afterall.

The roof , trunk n the hood are made in aluminium
