Default SC rollbar

SC430... Does it have automatic or built in roll bars in case you get upside down? New owner of a 2003 and I’m curious...Thanks!

I think it does. The two pieces that hold the wind deflector. That serves as the roll bars.

GmanSC is correct, the rear headrests and the front windshield frame will hold the car up in case it flips over.
I don't think we can flip it though, the car is heavy like a tank.

The SC is likely not any better or worse than any other car in a roll-over (unless equipped with a roll-bar). But, I agree it is less likely to roll due to its weight, as digi said. Too, it is low slung enough to help prevent it. That said, any car going over an embankment, or hitting a curb sideways can roll. Here's to keeping the shinny side up!
