I (perhaps stupidly) entered my 914 to be part of a High School homecoming parade. I figure I can either carry one passenger (seated), or perhaps 1-2 seated up on the targa bar. This will be strictly parade duty; probably 5mph.

It putting one or two people up on the targa bar a non-starter? Am I putting my rear window and/or bodywork at risk?

More than strong enough.
I’ve cut up a couple 914’s. The targa bar is really thick metal and the inside panel has channels in it that make it very stiff. I used to have people on mine when I was in high school. I think I had six in the car at one time.
