Default is delsol chassis weak or is it just me????

well make it short and sweet, i have my doom light turn middle spot where it lights up when my door opens.

so i realize when i turn hard enough on a corner, my doom light actually turn on/flash when my targa top is off..... that only means one thing, the body is actually 'twisting' when im turning cause the door to lift away from the sensor....

i haven't tried with targa top on yet.

anyone experiencing same thing as me?

Any car that doesn't have a complete roof will be less structurally rigid than one with a full roof, unless it's completely weighed down with support from the bottom side of the chassis. Or has a full cage. That's just part of the deal when you get that cool removable roof.

isn't there some kinda sensor that checks to see if the targa top itself is snapped properly into place. maybe it just thinks the top has come unlatched and is letting you know? i do know some guy had an odd sound that his car would make and determined there was also a light illuminating with the sound which apparently had something to do with the top not being latched properly in the trunk.

its the door pins on the delsol. i have actually seen people before glue and tape things to the door pins to make them longer. do your doors close tight? they might need to be adjusted, because if they sag a little bit the door pin doesnt line up right. but i wouldnt be surprised if body flex had something to do with it
