You don’t loose any parcel shelf luggage space with the roll-bar. There is a bit more of an art to getting bags in due to the diagonal, I tend to in-popper the roof as I have fixed seats. If you have seats that fold forward - you’ll be away.

Not wishing to drift this great thread, but who makes roll bars for the 4/4 then?
I presume there may be different versions from FIA approved to 'street' use only?
Can you still have the roof up and over it?
I have always wondered about this as most Caterham's seem to have roll bars fitted... and there are of course obvious similarities between the cars...

You could fit a Librands roll bar. It is road orientated rather than track and doesn’t have a diagonal bar. It will stiffen up the chassis and not impinge on luggage space much.

Safety Devices, Techniques amongst others make ones that are certified. I do not believe the Librands one is. Depending on year / specific sub model 4/4 yes you can get the roof up. I have roll bars on both mine and I can get the roof up over the top...

Do you have photos of one of your cars with the hood up and down?
