Agro1,
I can't help with the removal of the roll bar, however, a little tip that I got from a boat builder has helped me with drilling into my fibreglass.
Using a sharp drill bit switch the drill motor to REVERSE to drill your holes. This will keep from "pulling" the material up and eliminate damaging your finish, the tip on the bit will cut through the fiberglass even in reverse.
When I put my bezel on I placed masking tape on the body around the holes, fit the rollbar with the bezel installed on the car and marked the hole placement with a sharpie (the masking tape helped with seeing the marks and was a little extra protection if the drill should slip. I used a couple of drill bits going from smaller to the final size. After drilling your first hole you may want to place the bezel back in place, secure it with a screw and use it as a guide for the other holes.
good luck,
Mike "monster"
