I have the non-ht bar, and it fits my hardtop just fine without latches. I am tall and wanted it to be as high as possible. But 100% get your seats first. Mine almost interfere.

6'1" ish. My seat is aluminum and mounted straight to the floor, with the rear mounts cut out. The non-hardtop bar being forward can interfere with some seats. But the bar fits under my hardtop, just can't use side latches.

i was going to bitch at you for not utilizing the beautiful tubing setup i sold you to its full extent, but i got busy and forgot.
if i knew/noticed you had glass, i would have said something as i thought to myself when i was doing mine: "self, this will never work with a glass soft top".

I think if I mount the outer tube all the way forward, I can probably get a good 3-4 inches of adjustability, but honestly it doesn't matter much to me. The outer pipe warped pretty good, so I spent about 15 minutes grinding and clearancing. I don't think it would slide with paint anymore.
I kinda butchered the whole thing, but it works well as is.

Also, anybody have ideas on mounting the oil cooler? It has no mounting tabs on it or anything. I was thinking about building some brackets that sandwiched it somehow maybe a little cage around each corner?

They also maybe have been cut off at one point, but there weren't any sharp edges or obvious cuts.
Edit: Ugh, they look cut off from my pictures. This will get interesting.

No idea, I emailed the seller to see how he mounted it. I'm thinking angle aluminum and some rubber to insulate it. If I can support it on both ends from the fan bolt holes with a frame I think it will work.
