chassis twist?

Last week I took a ride down to Pennsylvania, and took some really hard corners. Then while on the highway coming back to Jersey my passenger side T-top shattered... I have sub-frame connctors on my car, is it still posiible that chassis twisted, or maybe a rock hit it? What do u guys think?

Re: chassis twist?

Must be you have a 82-92 car? I think the 93+ are plexiglass. Anyway, you would really have to be turning hard.......or jumping it for that matter. I guess its off to ebay you go.........

93+ are most definatly glass, i left a set in pieces all over the highway once..... i doubt you twisted it but check your paint for ripples, cracks, and improperly gapped fenders. i twisted up a 3rd gen before but the 4th gens are allot sturdy-er, specially if you have SFC's... they wont just twist from normal driving & cornering, ive put my car thru hell and even jumped it once(on accident ) got me a broken TQ arm but no chasis problems and hell look at all the AXer's seriously beating the fbody's out on the tracks. im guessin it had to be a rock or somin
