Thanks everybody for the numerous responses to my roll bar query. I'd like
to clarify a couple of points:
1. I was thinking of installation above the seat (which would put it
wrapping over the driver's and passenger's head. When I said at the end of
the windshield, I mentally included the small side window.
2. My concern about rolling the coach was not based on the expectation of
it rolling when hit but rather if it were forced or knocked over a bank
(say on a mountain road), where a roll would be expected. Would the present
structure stay intact (and therefore protect me) if I were seatbelted into
my seat?
Judging from the responses about the integrity of the cabin, and the story
of the person who rolled it backwards over a mountain road, I am guessing
yes, but any further thoughts on the matter? I don't think it would be all
that expensive to add the roll bar but why bother if I would just be
guilding the lily.
