Thanks for catching the video link. I couldn't make the video work either, so I changed the wording & added the blue Mustang photo at the bottom.

As far as the roll bar being installed too close to the driver's head, I copied & pasted my point "J" from my original post #10 on this thread.

In those type of typical auto wrecks, they would have been better off to have no roll bar. Please don’t use this as an excuse to not have one. Just install it with this in mind.
