you need to pull out the steel rod out of your tool kit and use the end of the rod to push down on the pin inside of the rollbars (it is between the roll bar) Push down on the pin and the rollbar at the same time until it clicks back into place. Its kind of hard to explain but it is definitely in the manual

My dealer told me that if my roll bars came up I would need to have the dealer reprogram the cars computer for $100 charge.
The roll bars will come up automatically if all 4 wheels leave the ground according to the dealer.

Actually it is not if all 4 wheel come off the ground, but if the car experiences negative Gs as when the car goes airborne. There are mechanical pendulum latches that release the spring loaded rollover hoops. The logic is that if the car is airborne, something bad might be happening, and better get ready if the car starts to roll.
There is a record of the event in the EMU, but it is no big deal. Just push the rollover hoops back down in the car as per the instructions in your owners manual, and be done with it. If you are a Girlie Man and have your dealer change your oil, have them erase the event then.
Your dealer is just after your money.

I aint a girlie man and yes my dealer does change my oil!!
But HBL (tysons corner, Va) service mgr specifically told me that even though you can push the bars back into place the car still needs needs some kind of reprogramming and I will go with the dealer word on that if I ever need to set back the roll bar.

If you don't change your oil, then you are a Girlie Man. And service managers will tell Girlie Men whatever they need to so they can get that Girlie Man money cause they know that Girlie Men don't know enough about their cars to do otherwise.
BTW, the picture that Don posted above is of my car when I popped the bars at a DE event 2 years ago. I pushed them back in, and cleared the event memory, and have been just fine.
