Can anyone give some ideas or tips as to what to use for roll bar padding?

you can shrink the straight sections & go over the junctions with another piece scribed & unheated to suit. since heat shrink will get as small as half of its size, you may need a second size to do the overlaps.

whatever you choose, be aware the heat shrink will also shrink in length when heated. the overlapped piece should be adhered with a vinyl safe adhesive.

Does this still work if you have to slit it to get around the bars?

If you have to slit it, try shrinking it on a scrap piece of whatever the rollbar is made of, or wire the same size. Then slit it and install it on your rollbar. It might work?
