Re: [24hoursofLeMons] window net mounting

Well, I hate to interrupt the flow of uninformed opinion, you know....

Nets can be located anyplace secure; the cage is better, obviously, but the door is fine too. (And don't expect it to save your life...the main point of the net is to keep your arm inside so it doesn't get squished between the car and the ground in a rollover.)

Door bars are required on the driver's side only. A passenger's-side bar is great, but you can pass tech without it.--Jay

Jay,

Can you comment on this? Is there a specific way we must mount our
window nets?

Also, door bars. Are they required just for the drivers side?

Thanks!
