    Possibly? But the sag is caused by the louvre panel being pushed tight into the aperture on the rear clam. If it's installed with a little tension, rather than compression, it shouldn't warp.

    My Corse I, the fuel filler is in the B post.
    I think all other types are "via" the rear clam
    I have adjusted the door since then so the seam lines up!

    It's something that got passed down from the Allora, Corse' are similar.
    I think it does help for the anti sag, yes and I can't speak for the others but the louvre is not pushed in tight to the aperture so this doesn't cause the sag.
    The air pushing down on the louvre from the rear spoiler is what causes the sag in the case of the LB which is why they have a support bracket between the canopy and the lower louvre.
    Without this bracket when travelling at speed the louvre can be pushed down & touch the rear canopy.

    Something else you can add on when listing the spec of your car: "3.2 GTA...ITBs....4-pots all round...Nitrons....anti-sag...." ...although some may think you've started listing family members when you get onto that last one.

    Given the average age of Stratos replica builders "anti sag" maybe a relevant addition to the options list.....

    Pffft!!

    I don't need to tune into the internet to be insulted about getting older.
    I've got carers at home who can do that.
