Flexible Roof?

jont122 · 1st April 2008, 16:51

Hello

Having cleaned and polished my new Type R, Noticed that the roof section, tends to flex quite a lot when polishing!!!

Has anybody else experienced this..............................

Yes! Same thing with the bonnet.
Bonnet flexing is i assume to protect pedestrians if they get hit. Crumples easily and absorbs impact but not sure why the roof should be so flexible. Its a bit scary i worry in case it dents

Hi im a honda technician and this is the same on all civics except those with a panoramic roof.( obviously )

I knew there was a good reason for buying a panoramic roof. I am just hoping it is waterproof.

All my recent cars have been the same.

Most metal panelling is now wafer thin after the computers design the structures. Obviously not much Meccano style framework underneath these days ?

Not much crown to the panel, very flat hence flex.
