Das roll bar install tips
#16
4.5 hours in and I don't want to do this. I hope everything is out so I can start to put it back together. I have a bunch of questions guys.
Do the side panels fit back in WITHOUT modification?
I am having a hard time putting the bottom cross bar in. The seat belt reel guide(steel tab with hole) is always in the way, on 1 side or the other. Any tips?
If someone is willing to PM me their #, if I need more help or encouragement, that would be great!
thanks

The bottom cross bar should have been the first thing that you bolted in. The bottom cross bar will slide over the seat belt reel guide effectively crushing it against the body and rendering it unusable as a guide. I then had to take 3 or 4 tries to get the holes lined up close enough to start the bolts enough to catch a couple of threads. I also had to play around with which side to start first. Also, since the seat belt retractor guides are now useless, when you get to re-installing the seat belts, which is one of the last steps, you will have to find the correct angle to tighten down the retractor or you won't be able to pull the seat belt out of the retractor reel.

Hey Mike, Did you help the crushing of the seat belt guide with a hammer? Or was it just from playing around with the cross bar? I was thinking of cutting it off with a Dremel.
I couldn't visualize the side panels coming over the bar bracket.
It might be from all the leg and back pain I'm feeling.
thanks
