Autopower Roll bar with sunroof

Is there any way to fit a AP 4point roll bar that is for a car without a sunroof in a car with a sunroof?
I dont care if I have to modify the headliner or cant use the sunroof....because I completely forgot I have one
I just want to know if it is physically possible.
Thank you!

it wont fit even if you take the headliner out. there is too much metal for the sunroof to allow the main hoop to position properly

Well, I got a non-sunroof rollbar coz I took my sunroof etc out. I have an inch gap atleast on top, but I bet the headliner/slider etc all easily require that space if not more. I am doing a ghetto block-off plate.

exactly, the slider assembly for the sunroof takes up the room.
Trust me I have tried to fit a non-sunroof autopower in with the sunroof still in.

I may have a buddy who builds cages modify it to fit.
right of the top of your head how many inches do you think would be needed to come down? 2?

If you want to cut off the feet, then cut off whatever you need to make space and re weld the feet back on it'll work.

Easier to just sell it and buy one that fits tho...

Could you guys elaborate, any real modifications to the bar and the safety of the whole thing is really mute.
But If it can be done without tearing up the headliner to an unrepairable state or cuting/changing mounting points I am fine with it, if not however, I might as well sell it and by something proper.
But please let me see the pictures.

Sunroof was blocked off with aluminium sheet with double-sided tape and alen bolts..



My car has tons of allens/rivets all over, so it goes with the theme,per se!
