Any reviews on DS WORKS braces, any experiences or issues

[karter16]

I just discovered one popped spot-weld on the left rear panel next to the shock absorber. It is known that you stich-weld this area between the three spot welds. Has anyone made experiences with glueing the two panels together rather than welding in this area?

How would you glue it? You'd need to remove the panel to prepare the surfaces to epoxy bond it. You can't just squirt some glue into the gap.

As I said before the right thing to do is to weld it, this latest discovery just adds more weight to that advice.

Rear seats delete is not really an option. The car should stay as stock as possible with avoiding welding

You are going to want to get over the welding aversion, you will need to make the necessary repairs.

Or just use some duct tape and send it

Hey all

Any photos or advice on this 6 point behind seat version

No welding inside the cabin for this 1?

I think anything that is not welded will have a limited reinforcing effect.

I have this installed.

No welding in cabin….unless you have failures that need repair

I recently installed one as well (thanks fattycharged!) and am happy with the finished product. I had a crack repaired and reinforcement plates welded in place, then added this brace at the top side for additional support. I admit that I suspect this seat friendly version does less to prevent front flexing compared to the full tubular, seat delete version. However, I believe it adds SOME extra support compared to a standard 4-point rear brace.

SpaceJockey hah! You just reminded me I installed the Yurkan version I bought, this one looks so much better than mine! 😂
