Has anyone installed this product and been successful of removing the cross and horizontal bar to have a passenger in the right, rear passenger seat?

I am interested in this bar so that I can have 2 total passengers if need be when I am off the track.
Thanks in advance.

I have this bar in my car and I would never allow a passenger in the rear of my car with any type of roll bar/hoop. Even with the cross bars removed, there is more than enough metal to hurt them in a crash or even hard braking. It's just too cramped back there, even for very small people.

Porsche made a tequip bar without the cross bracing as well however I doubt you can find one at this point.
Captain makes a good point. Any roll bar can be a serious hazard if your passengers are not secured and the bar is not wrapped foam.

I've always read that even foam doesn't reduce the risk. I looked closely at this as well before finally deciding to rid myself of the back seats.
Even without the cross bars they are right there in the way. Especially ones that attach to the rear seat belt mounts.

I agree completely. I would never allow a passenger in the backseat with a rollbar in place, foam or no foam. But lets be real here... there are many things a passenger can crush their melon on in an accident.

I have a similar roll bar from vivid racing. Like it very much. It fits with the existing mounting points and does not require any drilling.
I had the exact same intention of being able to remove the diagonal and horizontal bars to put my kids in the back when not on the track.
With the whole thing now installed, I have to agree with Capt. Obvious. It would be hard and maybe unsafe to put a passenger in the back with the vertical metal bars. You will need at minimum to pad them heavily.
