Do you have any pictures of this mount point? Curious to see how Toyota did it. After taking my top off and seeing the dimensions of the hard top bow, I wouldn't expect it to withstand any real load in an accident, so I'm surprised Toyota was able to get this DOT approved.

I'm sure there are thick (kinda) backing plates between the layers of sheet metal in the hard top sides. The load during an accident would be mostly shear force.
