for this strut bar to be functional(or more functional), shouldn't there be some way to prevent the cross bar from pivoting on the attachment points? ie attach with 2 bolts, or interlocking brackets? Can someone perform a test on the bar uninstalled, and see how much play there is about each mounting bolt? Just something to consider before putting these into mass production. Definitely a good concept, which IMO can be improved upon with a few minor modifications.

+1 - curious to know how effective this thing is...

and since the seats dont fold down in my sedan, i may just have dave weld it in place.

Very effective...in "testing" so far! We've been very pleased with the results so far and the "testing" continues.
This (welding) is the "best" option!! ...but there's no turning back...that's unless we cut it out!!
