MAKE THE POINT: Torsional Rigidity
A simple way to explain torsional rigidity to your customers is to use a shoebox analogy. A shoebox with the lid on top is not easy to
twist or bend. This is like a hardtop coupe or sedan. But when you take the lid off, the shoebox becomes flimsy. It is easy to twist or
bend it. In the same way, a convertible loses some torsional rigidity when you take the top off. But when you put the lid on the bottom
of the shoebox, it regains some of the stiffness it had before. In a similar way, Mustang Convertible engineers used firmer body joints
and rocker panels to add stiffness without extra weight.
