those pics are so crazy, is that charge tubing to a water to air intercooler? whats ironic is this car is the same color and has the same interior color as mine, and my back seats carry 6' people regularly, granted that im 5'7" lol

For the bottom portion just push on it and it should pop out of place. The top portion has hex-star and then once you removes it it should pop out as-well.

Here is a pic of my roll bar when it was being put in. We put in swing out door bars to easy access to the rear seat
