If your car rolls over (and I hope it does not) the roll bar will save your life even if your head sticks up above it. Surely you have seen enough crash test footage to realize that in a violent accident the human body is thrown around pretty violently even with seat belts and air bags. The roll bar is meant to keep the pavement from leveling the top of the car. Your head and thorax will move enough that you need not worry about being a few inches above it. Without the roll bar in a rollover the entire car will end up the height of the windshield wipers. Do not remove the rollbar. You would be an idiot if you did. (I am purposely being insulting because I do not want you to even think about doing it).

Regards,
Alan
