How sturdy/strong is it?

Thanks

There are no panels on this part. It is a one piece design. It mounts to the side roll bars using straps. Anything that you would want to mount to it would have to have holes drilled for the mounting and wires. The part is made of a think plastic with a metal bar run across the inside top for support.
