Re: FS/FT: Autopower Roll Bar.............or trade for a DC2 roll bar (GR_DC2)
I just installed my DC2 roll bar, it looks alot like yours.
Mine also hit the B-pillar, you have to install it at an angle...almost horizontally and then pull the main hoop up. The hoop should be past the b pillar, behind your seatbelts. For the longest time, I couldnt get the bar past the b pillar cause it kept hitting it. Then I figured this trick out.
But anyways, bump for you.

Can you post pics of your bar? close ups of the rear bars would be great. The plates that bolt down to the chassis--i need curved ones since they attach to the rear fenderwells, like the black roll bar in my original post. My white roll bar has flat plates for sure.
And i figured out that trick of putting it behind the B pillar as well. thanks for the heads up though. even when i did this, it rubbed like crazy on my B pillars.

Re: (GR_DC2)
Yeah, mine rubbed sick on the b pillars and made nasty scraches. It also fuked up my headliner...it's that tight of a fit. But once it's in there, it's snug and has some room.
Mine also has flat plates
It isnt curved. The guy I bought mine from had it installed in a DC, but then again he was a bit of a ricer, so who knows. Overall it fits well, I already bolted it down in fact. I think I'll hammer the feet into a curved shape and try to make it fit the rear wheel housng a bit better. But even the way it is now, it's good. If I welded it to the floor, it'd be even better

hmm. ok, how did you maneuver the rear bars onto the portion sticking out of the back of the main hoop? i can't push the main hoop too far forward b/c it hits the B pillars, yet i can't install the rear bars because they hit the fenderwell.

It's a bitch! You removed your panels right? You have to, it's way too hard to fit the rear legs with the panels.
So you insert the hoop at about a 45 degree angle, just get the top of the hoop past the b pillar, then start to lift it upright. The feet of the main hoop need to end up as far back as possible, the feet should almost touch the bottom of the rear seats. Now once you have the hoop past the b pillar, insert both legs then pull the entire hoop and legs upright. By now, the hoop should practically be in place and the legs should be maybe about 1" or so away from touching the wheel tub. Then it's just a matter of scooting the roll bar back enough so that the legs will meet the wheel wheel housing.
I used a rubber mallet to smack the main hoop in place. I would hit it at the legs to get the roll bar in place.
Major bitch, I'm telling you.

yeah it seemed like a hassle. did you install the mainhoop to the floor with carpet or w/o carpet? I'm thinking taking out my carpet would have gotten me a little more room to play with.
I think the one made for our cars might be an easier fit!
