Default Hard Top Install over Roll Bar

Hey Guys
First time poster and new s2000 owner. I just bought an S2000 last week that has a roll bar installed. My question is I really want to install the oem hardtop as well. Does anyone know if the OEM or any other hardtop will fit over the roll cage?
Thank You!
Eric

What roll bar do you have? Can you put your soft top up? If you can any hardtop should work. The only place you may have trouble is the rear hardware may be difficult to install and the roll bar may need to be taken out and the put back in to install that hardware.

Pretty sure you can remove and install the rear catchers just fine with a roll bar installed.

If its a harddog or rockstar roll bar the OEM hardtop will fit just fine. If you have no soft top you will only be able to use two of the bolts for the OEM hardtop mounts, but it works just fine with just two.

I am not saying when it is installed already I am saying to install the bottom piece of the rear catcher. You have to remove several interior pieces to put those in and a roll bar could make that more difficult. I have never done it which is why I just said it could make it a challenge.

I'm got the Cusco roll bar and a rep hard top. It's doable

If the soft top clears the roll bar then any hardtop will clear it.
