Go to Google and look for        Autopower roll bar             The first 
page of results is almost all retailers for Autopower.  There may be one 
near you.   Autopower has been making roll bars for eons (- or 
longer)   several choices for your car - one has a removable 
crossbrace  for times when someone has to sit in the back 
seat.     Google    1,740 hits. for     Auto power roll bar
