If I'm correct, it's because the frame is flexing. Does it only happen with the top down? In my coupe, with the roof off, going on a seriously inclined slope, the interior lights will come on.

yes - does not seem to matter. There are many things I have done that could of caused this including jacking it up in the wrong place and got the body out of whack
