Jacking with T-tops

[Chiller]

I was talking to a guy today who said that when jacking up convertables or cars with T-tops that you are suppose to open the doors first. It had something to do with body flex. Does anyone know if there is any truth behind this ?

I too have heard the horror stories of glass tops cracking when jacking the car, so I unlatch my tops b4 jacking. Even the solid tops are cracked just to be sure. (got both sets for mine)...

I am still uneasy getting under mine with floor jacks installed, just a phobia I guess. Life is too short already, ain't it?
