Ok this makes sense-somewhat: I installed the strut brace from Gert last week. Noticed that the windshield no longer squeaks when backing out of my garage. It used to squeak all the time as I backed down the concrete ramp that is in front of my garage entrance. I'm thinking that stiffer car = less flex = less squeak. Haven't done anything to my windshield-it's been pretty tight except for when I drive over angled surfaces (driveway lips, ramps, etc...). Has anyone else had the same experience with a strut brace/stiffer suspension?

Yup. That's a nice side benefit. Increased torsional rigidity which translates into less unwanted body movements. I believe it will actually help your car maintain its structural integrity as the years go by.

I've noted that very same thing in most of the 993's that we've done here,.....

If you don't use your rear seats, install a Brey Krause B pillar harness brace.
It improves the rigidity even more....

Very interesting. I have both the strut brace and harness guide bar in my car and the windshield still creaks, primarily in cold weather. Maybe I need to tighten the strut bar!

Richard,
Haven't driven in the cold yet with new brace. I could be in for a surprise come fall/early winter. I do know that it has not squeaked since installing the brace last month.
BTW, which guide bar do you have?
