Haven't done it yet but will try to explain the best I can. "It seems" that the bar only has to pass through the area of the panel where that little arm rest goes. With the arm rest removed I'm going to cut a hole out and from the bottom up to the hole just cut a slit in the panel. That way there is no gaping channel cut out of the panel. I should be able to bend the panel at the slit around the bar and let the bar fall into the hole at the top. This way there's less plastic cut out it should look much cleaner.
After the panel is cut use a hole saw to cut the arm rest for a cleaner cut.
Hard to explain but here's a pic. Just pretend the cuts I made are not there.
The way I cut it looks great with some door edge molding over the cut edges and padding around the roll bar. (Like my earlier pic).
( the little slits along the edge of the panel by the arm rest were made to allow the door edge molding to slide in and continue around the hole in the arm rest )
