I got the one on the black Friday special and it got here this week. All hardware included, but no instructions. Gonna see what I can find online.

Thanks so much. We were able to install it pretty easily without removing anything other that the top panel. We didn't however drill the two small holes, just used the seatbelt and the other larger bolt for securing the bracket. We may end up going back and using the other holes as well, but the bar is definitely secure as it is. Pulled on it and everything.

Interested if and when you have to go back - or if it works the way it is. I normally am a DYI guy but I'm in a situation where the tools aren't available. Not drilling would make it a DYI else I'd need installed or just wait a while.

You will have to do drilling either way you go. We used an 1.5" hole saw for the top panels. Very easy to do though. The two top bolts will hold it in place, but there is some play in it if you pull on it. We'll go in this weekend and drill the smaller two holes just to make it completely stable.

Makes sense. I knew that but wasn't thinking clear... Thanks - I may have one installed in the summer since I really like the look.
