Question SC430 rollover protection??

i did a search and could not find another thread on this topic.

most convertibles have visible rollbars (porsche, audi) or "popup" rollbars (mb, bmw). according to the dealer, the SC430 has neither.

are the occupants unprotected in a rollover with the top down? or is there a protective system of some kind that the dealer is unaware of? i can't find anything about this in the SC430 brochure, either.

thanks!

Default Rear Headrests?

Are the rear headrests adjustable? They would be a clever place to hide some sturdy metal.....

Both rear headrests DO have a mini roll bar built under the covers! Boy, you guessed it perfect!

I wouldn't think Lexus would forget such a vital safety item!
