Do you guys think I can fit a 7 foot olympic squat bar in my 05 sedan if I remove the rear seats? I can't measure it because i'm at work right now and may possibly meet up with a seller right after work who lives 30 miles in the opposite direction from my house.

Worse case, you can use the pass though?

with no weights, you can do it. just pass it through the center handrest hole aka the pass through that Jeff mentioned.

Yeah no weights, I was thinking of passing it through the center but it's a safety squat bar that has those big handles in the middle so I have to get really creative angling it in because the handles won't fit through the pass through. I can just remove the seats real quick though. Just want to know if theres enough space from the end of the trunk to the windshiled to fit 7 foot? I'm guessing yes, but if possible i'd like to be sure before I head out that way.

Just don't slam on the brakes. You might missile the thing out the windshield

So it will definitely fit though you think? I'm assuming there's more than 7 foot of space from the trunk end to windshield.

I'd say so. If the safety part is too big I hope it can sit on either side of the pass though.

You don't have access to tape measure??

it should be long enough, even if it has to sit on top of the dash in the front. Marcus transports his rig shot equipment that way: sits on the dash, goes through pass through, all the way into the trunk. His rig is probably 7+ feet.

Not here at work. I work in an office building. Been trying to ask my coworkers if someone randomly has one at their desk. I would go home first and measure but it's really out of the way to do that.

Thanks G Sedan, if Marcus can fit all that in his i'm pretty confident it will fit then.

If it doesn't fit, go rent a home depot truck.

Just lay down next to your car with your arms out, superman style. That should give you about 7 ft or more?

It should fit on a reclined front seat... just gotta angle it a bit.
