From a verification checklist, part of which I can supply for context:
CHENILLETTE
Pneus/tires
Chenilles/tracks
Portes/doors
Barre de retournement ?
Grillage/grille
The rest of them I have, but can't find the exact translation for this term. I've done quite a few jobs in this field but this is a new one for me. Anyone with expertise in this area, thanks in advance.

@ Marlene: Heehee, maybe... But, even though it's not a standard part of the my vocabulary, I've only heard "rollover bar" used by the guys I know. I realize that's highly anecdotal, but check the ghits for "anti-rollover bar" (I get 31 with hyphen and 5 without.) Compared to MANY more without "anti."
Also, as I understand it, the rollover bar provides some headroom in the event that the car does roll over – thereby, I suppose, affording some protection to the occupants of car. But I could be wrong about this... Living in NYC, I've forgotten most of what I knew about cars. :o

Reference:
Could also be anti-rollover bar?
Some specific vehicles (and the chenillette could be one) are equipped with anti-rollover devices that actually prevent the vehicle from rolling over rather than protecting the passengers when this did happen.

There is a stadard for these ROPS in Manitoba:

these devices use more often "barres" in French, the English "rollover bars" being more commonly called "arceaux"; an illustration of the device could clarify that

: Try comparing ghits with and without "anti" ;-)
// Also, as I wrote in the "Note" on my "Answer"; I think the "barre de retournement" is there to protect occupants in the event of rollover rather than to stabilize the vehicle.

I am in doubt because we have no picture of the device, I mentioned this less-known device decause this is a chenillette, your suggestion is obviously more likely and more g-popular for all convertible cars, more as "arceau" as "barre" by the way
