The bars are
not all created equal. Most of them on Ebay are knock offs or seconds. I have the same bar from the same supplier as Boags and it has one hoop (passenger side) higher than the other. The higher hoop on mine does just touch the soft top window zip and can be an annoyance at 100km/hr. Doesn't bother me because I have the top up once in every second blue moon.
I put one on a friend's NB and it touches the soft top glass on one side. I've seen a lot of these Racing Beat type (knock offs/copies/seconds/whatever) and at least 70% of them are asymmetric.
It does stiffen up the car body, does not require any holes to be drilled, is easily removed and is big instant bling. However, seat back recline is restricted.
Will it save you in a rollover? Depends on how lucky you are. I guess the same goes for a
\"proper\" roll bar. But unless you have a full harness on at the time I believe it's a raffle anyway.
Will it kill you in a rollover? Probably not, but if it isn't your lucky day.......
The hardest part about fitting them is cutting the plastic seat belt tower mouldings for a neat fit. Oh, and the nuts etc. that they come with are insufficient and crap. Budget another $5 or so for them.
Still want one
