Roll cage and T-tops

Does anyone have a cage installed so they can store there T-tops in the bag in the stock location? If so could you post some pics.

So no one has done this before. I just wanted to know if someone has. I will post pics when I get mine installed. You think someone would have done it with all the t-top cars out there.

I will be the first to try something new

I've got my cage on the floor in the garage and will do something with it next month.

What are you going to do with the rear pipe? Just move it farther to the outside?

I was thinking about using longer pipes and moving them outward and extending them back to the frame rails in the lower cargo area.

There's no reason why you can't modify the interior trim to allow the cage to run through it. That will give you all the room you need.

That will probably work but not for me. I don't have the factory hatch anymore

Car: Accepting applications...
My rear bars attach at the shock mounts, no interference with the t-top bag...

all of the convertible roll bars should clear the ttop bag in a coupe.
