Re: convertible safety: metal bar next to driver's head

I've had my '93 convertible for a year now and love it. Always wanted a classic 900 but had a 9000 and NG 900s before. My only safety concern—and it's actually begun to weigh on me a bit—is side impact issues. The metal bar over the window is inches from my head (I'm 6'3") and if I'm hit from the side while the top is up, the first thing my head is going to crack open on is that dang metal bar! Why it's not metal with a rubber cover, I have no idea. The bar in the 9-3 convertible I just test drove is covered and has side impact airbags that I presume would help protect. Am I being silly to stress over this? I'm seriously thinking of purchasing a newer convertible but don't know whether to go to the 9-3 or a NG 900. Anyone with some safety suggestions?
