alright i went out and got some new rear panels cuz i messed up the first ones I had by not making the holes in the panels in the righ tplace so it looks like ***
how the hell are you guys making suck precise holes in the rear panels for the Roll bar back bar??
picture please too

 

no one

 

I have full interior with Autopower 4 point. It pretty much took me ALL damn day to do it along with some cursing and things of that nature. How i did it: It requires removal of the 1/4 windows, separating the rear 1/4 interior panels so they are no longer 1 piece, then carefully measuring and guesstimating (lol) where the holes need to be cut so the legs of the bar can pass through the upper half of the panel, then drilling with a holesaw, then cleaning up the holes so they are clean, then slitting the panel so u can literally open the panel up and slip it around the leg (my pic will explain this step), then finding clever ways to maneuver the upper panel aruond so you can bolt the legs down to the car itself. You must also remember that the main hoop will need to be removed and installed many times throughout this process in order to assure correct fitment and hole placement. Its best to have 2 people doing this, although i did it by myself!


I will grab u a pic tomorrow.

Edit: This is for a hatchback, LOL.

What kind of rollbar is it? My 4pt autopower goes right through the rear speaker locations.



So, all I had done was relocate the speakers to the top of the interior rear quarter area, just behind the bar. You can see the speaker grille at the top of that pic.

However, I couldn't get the door panels to work properly. My first attempt was this:


Besides being ugly, I also failed inspection for exposed wiring. But it's functional, as the top part allows the air to flow to the side windows so that they don't fog up. Otherwise, it's a real bitch to drive in foul weather. So, how I fixed it was buy another set of door panels off ebay, then for now, I cut the bottom of the panels and did the old duct tape fix to get through inspection. Soon will be getting the panels redone in red alcantara, with the bottoms smoothed over in fiberglass so that they clear the bottom of the rollbar when they're closed.
Here are a couple of pics of the bar in place:






HTH

Damn, just thought - if you have the hatch, which it sounds like you might, then please disregard this post. I'll leave it here, just in case.
