Hey,

1200 sedan roll overs are something I have a little experience with... Actually my wife of the time did it! She lost it on a patch of ice and slid off the outside of a corner into what looked like a nice large patch of grass. Turned out to be grass growing over sand. The tires hooked into the sand and caused the car to do a snap roll and land perfectly upside down without touching the rest of the car. It broke the windshield and pushed the center of the windshield frame down about 6". Did not deform anything other than the top of the windshield frame and the center of the roof. Doors opened and closed fine!

We rolled the car back onto it's wheels and towed it home. 2 hours later I had pushed the windshield frame back to where it should have been, duct taped a spare windshield in place with using black duct tape, and got the engine started. We drove the car over 6 months before retiring her permanatly.

The sedans are a pretty strong little car for what they are made out of. Or maybe it's because of the light material that keeps them from collapsing!
