Roll Bar with interior plastics

Anyone running a 4 or 6 point roll bar and kept there interior plastics? Im trying to think of the best ways to put the bar in then get the interior plastics back in. I know ill have to cut at least 2 holes in the back plastics but not sure the best way to go about it. My car retains a full interior except rear seats.

Thanks.

Edit - maybe this should have gone into body or interior? Maybe a mod can move it if need be.

This is the last bar I had with no diagonal bracing. You can add lots of bracing with all the interior just no rear seats.

Rear bars shouldnt need to go through the plastics as they should mount as he has pictured. The rear suspension pickup points.

Re: Roll Bar with interior plastics

u should have enough clearance wit the interior in... they say to leave it in and just use metal to sheild it from welding sparks... im gona be putting in my 8point just like in the pic above so the rear bars attach at the rear shock mounts.

The rear shock towers also have a 1.5" tube welded between the tower mounting area also. Also try to tie the main hoop into the rear of the sub frame connectors if you have them.
