Well all of it really. There is a strut tower brace that goes across the car right behind the seats, as you know. It's clearly visible in the hard tops, anyway in our cars they attached the roll bar right to that but it has no support in the center. Since their two separate hoops if the car were to land on the corner or something the bar could just bend in half, obviously not doing it's job then.
The height should be fine, dependning on how tall you are of course but that's not really the issue anyway.
