Default XJ Windshield Brace

Just bought a 2 door XJ a few months ago. Windshield was cracked. A friend told me 2 door XJs flex more causing the windshield to crack. He also told me about a brace that goes across the dash to help with this problem. Have not been able to find a brace, just a full roll cage. I want to replace the windshield but want to cure the problem first. Any suggestions? Thanks, John

That is a new one for me too. I think your friend is yanking your chain.

I think he made that up because it sounded good at the time.

instead of a windshield brace (never heard of that one either) you could get unibody stiffeners to help with the body flexing
