Default notch back question

im hoaping that some one can answer my question. but i doubt many people have this hatch much less the role cage i want
ok so i was wondering if any one has this hatch and this role bar. i was wondering if they work together. im worried about the bars that trail back to the hatch area if they clear. i want the over the seat bars but if thouse dont work than i wouldent mind getting the other bars if they work.... could some one please help me out if you have these two things on your car... or if you have the hatch and you think the cage will work please let me know
thanks

ive never even seen or heard of someone buying one of those before
One thing to consider is that you can't expect anyone over 4' tall to sit in the back anymore. That hatch kills headroom, from what ive heard

yeah i normaly dont have more than on person riding with me at a time.... that and the role bar is going to make it impossible to get back there in the first place... i figgured id pull out the back seats and that can become the place for two big ol purple bottels!!

First of all no one needs two big purple bottles that is way to ricey. Secondly I would say that there is no way that the roll bar and the notchback will work together. The rear arms extend too far. However I would suggest this. If you are serious about pulling the rear seats then buy the roll bar and have two custom rear arms bent for your application.

You might want to check with a local bodyshop before purchasing that. A good fiberglass man can custom make a hatch glass replacement that will flow right into existing vehicle lines. He might even be able to do it for a similar price as long as you let him now your getting your paintwork done through him too.

If you decide to go looking for a body shop I would suggest looking for a shop that specializes in Corvettes,Custom aucio enclosures, or :O Imports

good luck.
