little or no rust but sure is flimsy when touching the roof panel. Any advice on applications (maybe under) to strengthen.

Your roof has probably had some weight put on it stretching the metal.
You can shrink the metal using heat and quenching or you can mechanically shrink it with a hammer and dolly. See the book "AutoBody repairing and repainting' by Bill Toboldt.
