The harness setup in the 2nd and 3rd pictures is just crazy.

The harness bar in the 1st picture appears to be this:

I assume Sparco knows about harness setups.

The bar isn't the problem. It looks like the harness is just wraped around the bar a couple of times.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of cars out there with terrible cage/harness bar design/fab work. We recently found JB Weld on a roll cage to mask missing welds and bad fitment. This is a very important piece of safety equipment, but if its built this way it may hurt you more than help you.

Ignoring the harnass issue; what could be his reasoning for rolling up the window?

The guy in the youtube video must be very down-to-earth, no ego at all.

What normal fellow puts a camera in a car only to point it directly at himself?

On the passenger side inboard side you can see a 3 bar adjuster(wouldn't surprise me if they weren't routed correctly), he probably just wrapped them around the bar to take up slack. I used tie wraps to do so...
