Anybody have some pics of how you mounted your window net bottom bar? I bought a RJS kit. I got the top bar in place but I'm having trouble coming up with something for the bottom bar. It needs to be able to move so that climbing in and out of the car is as easy as possible. Thanks for your help.

I have 2 pieces of tubing 3/8" ID X maybe 5/8"OD X 3/4 long
welded to my bar( the angled one that goes up to
the main hoop). The 3/8 rod goes thru the net and
goes thru both pieces of the tubing with a jesus
clip at each end of the rod to hold it from sliding out, very
simple. I'll see if I can find a pic

Here's my problem. The net is not long enough to mount directly to the door cross bar. I had mounted the bottom window net bar to a bracket that was welded to the door cross bar but it made getting in & out a pain. So I'm trying to make up something so that the bottom net bar can be dropped or moved out of the way but the I am not having much luck on this. Any ideas? Thanks.

Roy, where do you live in Mich, you can go right
to RJS with your templete and they can make it.
Usually most of the guys drop the top of the net
and the bottom is on a fixed rod with clips, the
upper rod uses a seatbelt lock. You might want to
pick up the RJS installation kit also.

The template thing is what I should have done if I was smart but that's something I have never been accused of.

Mr.P, Chesterfield (I-94 & M-19), not to far from you. Thanks for the link. The RJS kit is what I bought. The top bar is installed close to the top rollcage bar. I had the bottom installed but did not like the way it turned out. I'll keep messing with it until it works.

I made a templete of mine and ran it for a while
but I took in this spring and had them change it
when I re-newed it... pretty cheap ( I cant remember
the price). It might be easier and look nicer if
you get the right shape net

Or you can connect the bottom left corner with a cable, that is how the S&W Race Cars kit comes.

I did a custom net to match the angle of the rollcage side bar. It's solid on the bottom. The front of the net has the sewn in loops for the bar to run thru. It pivots on the bottom, clips on the top. I like pushing the net forward to clip into place, but some like to push up to clip it, both work.

I like yours better than mine, I have the same shape
net but mine has the bar top and bottom with my
upper bar pushing up into the lock. You lock is
more out of the way than mine
