Good Day! I am searching for some documentation concerning the structure of the A-Pillars/windshield surround and the two rollover bars (hoops) for the SCCA to be able to run on track night. If anyone can point me to some tech drawings or specifications to show that the pillars are reinforced and that the hoops are factory and attached to the chassis I would appreciate it. I have a 2005 Roadster that I race SCCA DS but want to up the game without installing a rollover bar over the two hoops. Thanks in advance for your help. This would also help anyone with a pre-2006 convertible that wants to run a fast track day like Pocono.

 

all I see in the parts manual is the hoops with 8 mounting lugs :

 

I think the "roll over bars" are basically for looks. I wouldn't rely on them too much...

 

Agreed. Look like just for show. Will have to get creative with satisfying SCCA. The diagram you sent is excellent. Best one I found was from ZH section of MOPAR shop manual. My guess is the A-pillars are not reinforced like the SLK's. Thanks again for reading and responding.
