Style Bars are in.....but

Postby Cam Shaft » Sat Aug 27, 2011 6:01 pm

So i got myself some second hand style bars...in great condition so im very happy.
I installed them this morning. Wasnt to hard at all.
I love the look. Only problem is with the roof up, they just touch...worse of the passanger side. Is this a common problem with style bars? Will this damage the roof over a period of time?
Also, when raising and lowering the roof, the rear support bar in the roof scrapes the passanger side hoop. So ive just attached some soft material to the support bar so it doesnt scratch.
Still, im very happy with the result :D

Glad you liked it mate ;)

It shouldn't rub at all (not in my car anyways. Did you take the piece of plastic off the top of both your seat belt columns? That will make about 1.5cm difference..

Mine touched the soft top and wouldn't fit with the hard top. There are however many different manufacturers and they're all slightly different. Best of luck!
