I have had my say (ad nauseum) on rollbars on this list so I will  
just suggest you do one thing.  Draw a line from where the top of the  
rollbar will be when it is installed to the tip of your bonnet (the  
thing that covers your engine).  If that line intersects where your  
head would be if properly seated and belted in then the rollbar is  
pretty useless.

Don't think you can rely on your windscreen staying in place and  
offering much structural support if the car lands on its roof.
