Hole-sawing roof roll-over supports
First off, this is a on a car which will have a 10 point cage, so I'll still have roll-over protection.
Has anyone hole sawed away some of the material in the roof supports? I'd be sure to leave a good amount across the back to support the hatch since I still have the stock hatch on the car. I'm mainly talking about removing material along the center beam (the part which would go between the T tops on a T top car) across the front and down the A pillars.
Is there any thing I should be worried about if I do this?

T-top cars have the t-tops pop off with hard launches some times, just thought it would allow more flex in the roof making it even easier to pop the top

If it's a hard top I would hole saw it, the t-top popping off was only issue I thought of, so you trying to take weight out of the car? have you removed the bracket behind the middle speaker? not the one in between the seat and speaker, I mean inside behind the speaker.
What other ones have you taken off I know a few places to take out weight now that I cut my car open a bit and had a peek inside
