Doesn't move and rattle like it did before. Very pleased with it. The roof will flex before the struts do. Left room for 2 bolts on each of my home made braces but I htink 1 on each end is going to be fine so I will leave it like this for now. Whoever drilled my roof out for the braces didn't get very straight in the front, one is drilled farther back than the other but doesnt matter. Happy with how it turned out. Planned on getting radio hooked upbut I mixed up my wires from the battery and fried the head unit, so until that comes I am thinking that I'm done for now.
i think im going to add this my 2016 Yamaha Drive... i recently put a roof rack on it and you can about imagine the flex it now has. Most of it is forward to back flex. Cart has 6" lift with 23" tires so it has some shifting and twisting all the time. Thinking about mounting a 24" piece of flatbar in the front where the strut meets the frame and angling it into the strut. I feel as that is probably the weakest point in the setup.
In the back i'll do just the same, bolt a piece of thick flat bar from rear strut to rear seat arm rest.
I've got to find a way to strengthen up those front struts, its almost like you can watch the flex and it freak me out.

This may be overkill but i was thinking of even mounting a thick piece of flatbar across the dash from strut to strut to try and strengthen it up at the bottom where as stated i THINK that would be the weakest point. Feel free to correct me if im wrong on any of this.
