I?m currently driving without a canopy (or canopy horizontal runners) and the unbraced rear roll bar rattles around a lot. At best the rattle is irritating, but at worst the roll bar?s weight and height will cause enough pendulum leverage to crack the mounting point.
It seems to be secured using a single bolt threaded in to each mounting pipe which pushes against the roll bar pinning it against the other side of the mounting hole. Has anyone tried adding a wedge to stop the movement? I?m thinking of using something like the wedge used to keep road signs in the hole.
The alternative is to just remove it. Am I right to think there?s just the single bolt on each mounting hole, or is there something else securing it?
Also, I?m assuming the rear roll bar isn?t a compliance requirement like the central roll bar?? Anyone know?

Neither are compliance items, they were added 5 years after the truck was made but i wouldnt remove the centre one.. Ive removed the rear one for a few years no issues. Its back on as it now holds my hard top on
