Message	I wish I had the pictures, but one member had taped the corners of his windshield and another portion of the vehicle, then jacked it up. The tape sagged a huge amount, showing the chassis flex. Whether or not it's more or less than a slick-top or a T-top is a matter of empirical testing - but it's safe to say generally speaking convertibles are significantly less stiff than vehicles featuring a full top.
