    when people are in the back and you roll your car over & your about to land on the roof doing 30 to 60mph the force off the impact will rip the 4 lil bolts that hold it in right out and buckle around the people in the back

    Au contere my honerable friend, there was a dude in the scot's section sold his car to a lass and she binned it ........ with a show cage in and they way its happened its stopped the rear passengers getting hurt, minor cuts and bruises iirc.
    
    
    Now i aint saying they are life savers ........... there not by any means, tells you that when you buy them they aint for that purpose, so if you buy one thinking that then............... you're mistake tbh!!!!
    
    
    My misses had one in her saxo and look great imo so if you likey then get one

    i like them when theyre painted
    wouldnt have one if you take rear passengers, it just gets in the way for everyone
