Anyone using a Strut tower brace?
Is it worthwhile?

 

It's a good, relatively inexpensive modification. I've noticed an improvement, but NOT with the windshield squeek (I guess I'm not as fortunate as some)

I put one on my '95 Cab about 3 months ago - I think there is a clear improvement in handling. It also dramatically reduced the window creaking I was experiencing.
BTW - did you ever sell your armrest?

I recently acquired a '97 C2. It had a pretty bad windshield creak. Determined to eliminate it, I used both the "teflon rope" trick that I came across on this board and installed a strut tower brace from AJUSA. I'm not sure which cured it (should have taken it for a ride between the two, but I didn't), but it is definitely gone now.

Yes, it is worthwhile. The windshield does not creak as much, and the turn in seems improved.

 

Recently did my Carrera S coupe with the factory brace - definitely improved turn in, its much more 'chuckable' now.
