The visor isn`t sealed to the roof.The air passes over the front and also onto the windscreen and up and behind the visor a bit like a spoiler.It has tubular support bar horizontally from pillar bracket to bracket and fixed to face of visor.

Hi mealic,I do understand what you say ,this will be a reinforced visor,it will be open at the top to let the air pass through;
having a high top fibre glass roof,central supports are just going to flex the roof,
The ones I have seen for sale only bolt onto the inner door pillers,
with a steel tube from piller to piller at the front ,it should be fine.
If it flies of I will let you tell me I told you so :D

The central supports are fixed and integrated with the support bar and the visor which you rightly state are fixed to the pillars only.I never said that the visor was fitted direct to any height roof though.You can see what mine is like on the Kuda website
