    I have a swing out door bar and want to put in a window net. Need one I can put on and remove since the car is a daily driver. Any suggestions? Auto power industries is close to us but their setup was $130, is that about right?

    Most nets are removable with the exception of the upper clip which is welded to the top bar. Every two years I spend $75 just on the SFI net for the Maverick...........................$130 sounds good.

    Usually you also weld the attachment to the bottom tube, then a steel bar slides through the net and these attachments on the bottom tube, then you attach the top bar (which also goes through the net) to another attachment to stretch it into place and snap it in from (which looks like a seat belt buckel)...............so when you take it out of the car, you will actually have a couple of donuts welded to the bottom tube....................I will go out to the garage and take a few pictures for you.
    The first shows the whole net, second is the upper rear mount, third is the bottom front mount and last one is of the rear lower mount.

    The way I do mine would work best for your application. You need a 3/8" rod and two rod ends, and two 3/8" dia. quick release pins. Also need some small pieces of tubing that have a 3/8" I.D. Call me if you want install instructions, too much to type out.
