roof pillar max load

[g-force junky]

My 95 Has Been Selected For A Parade Route Ride. 2 Young Ladies, Each At 105 Lbs Aprox. Are To Sit Across The C Pillar With The Targa Top Removed. Can The Pillar Accept This Amount Without Any Problem. Or Should They Modify Thier Stance To Stand And Lean ?????

That should work as long as their weight is correct. Provide a towel to place on the top so you won't ruin the paint. Standig could be a problem if you cannot move your seat far enough forward to provide room for their feet.

I ask girls to remove any high-heel shoes once they get is as they may put their weight down to keep balance. Remember there is not much to grab onto once they get on top of the car.

Of course, when they sit down, adjust your rear-view mirror ro keep an eye on them; just for their safety of course!! Probably just to where you can see their knees. They are wearing short skirts, right?? :L

Yeah, the B-pillar can handle them. Put a towel across it so they dont scratch the paint.


The B-pillar can handle ALOT of damage, Ive seen wrecked vettes where the B-pillar was the only recognizable part left.

Two girls???? The one behind you is going to be setting on your head with her legs coming down in front of you Look where that bar is, it is right at the back edge of your head. No room for her legs between the bar and your seat.

Sounds like his head will be just fine...

and the problem with that is ......................

If NHRA considers it strong enough to allow you to run with the roof panel removed, whereas convertibles cannot even run without a roll bar, I would think it should hold two little girls.

This made me wonder if the top edge of the windshield might hold them.

Although it would then be necessary for them to face backward.

They could rest their feet on the top of the seatbacks.

Whether you then drive the parade in reverse is up to you.

I'd like to see pictures of those parade queens please. As long as they are over 18, I'm not going to give much concern to my arch weight on my CE.
