Roll Bar In A Cabrio?

[LuckyHenriksen]

Will an Autopower bolt in bar fit in a cabrio? I don't know if the recess for the folding top gets in the way or not? Thanks for any help

If you remove the rear seats and bolts it there, it'd be more likely. But beyond that no idea.

nope, not without some serious mods. I looked in to this for months. Best bet is to have a custom one made up. There was one on the here not too long ago, I think it was a white car with a removable bar and he kept all of his seats and panels.

If anyone remembers which car it was, I would love to see it again.

Fuuu I just found out the hard way. Fits in my sedan parts car just fine though! And it looks sooo badass I am upset with myself that I didn't check into it further before ordering it. Oh well, I just have to build a hardtop car now too :)

[LuckyHenriksen]

I wonder if it will fit my E21....

Sucks that you live so far a buddie of mine just started a roll cage/bar making business and is pretty resonable with prices. I jus sold him my junk e30 vert that's he's supposedly making into a missile car and will be caging it. Anyway did u get any pics of it on the sedan?

[LuckyHenriksen]

Haha yea a couple shit cell pics, I will snap a couple tonight after work so you guys can see how it looks :D

There is a guy in SoCal who runs one on his s50 swapped auto-x car and I believe it was a totally custom job. Since the rear seats are so much narrower in a 'vert I doubt any bolt-in bar will fit.

The removable bar sounds interesting though, anyone have pictures of that car?

Found it, guess it was a bronzit, one of my favorite cabs on R3V.

not sure if its fully removable though now that I look at it.


nope, its fully removable.

[LuckyHenriksen]

Yea I am not too worried about it being quickly removable, its back to the drawing board for now

[bmw325csi]

the bar in that car is nice though because he kept all the OG panels. To fit most bars you have to sacrifice the seats, at least the panels.

wanna sell it?

Ugh, is there any four-seat convertible that doesn't look awkward as hell with a roll bar?

The E30 is not one of them.
