Default Roll bar for convertible

I'm looking for a non weld in roll bar for a convertible. Removable would be preferable. Advise?

Technically any bar not firmly attached to the frame of your car is not able to be called a "Roll Bar" Removeable bars as you are seeking are considered non functional and astethic only and are called Hoops, Vert Hoops, Beauty Hoops or like name and are not considered safe for racing or hi-performance use. Most of the Hooops sold by the vendors can be installed with bolts or epoxy. Roll cages or bars still are invaisive to your car with solid attachment to the Frame. I am unsure if a bolt in system exists. Good Luck
