Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice regarding storing the Hard Top. My car lives in a garage and I'd like to hang its Hard Top from the roof.
Interested in seeing if / how owners are doing this, particularly what they are using. I'm thinking of getting some straps with hooks for the back and a pulley to hoist it up out the way and securing it up above the car.
Thoughts and pics...?
Thanks
S
Someone did that on this forum...

Custom covers do a bag that hangs on the wall.
Hello and welcome BTW
I put fixings in the wall & hang via the front latches.
Mine is in a storage bag, hung on the garage wall:

I restored our grand kids 20 odd year old Wendy house just to use for storage.

I mounted a piece of wood 2x4 to the ceiling. Two hinges and some steel "storage hooks" covered with carpet scraps. Then a piece of chain to hold it after I swing it up to the ceiling.
I'd post photos if I could figure out how!

Thanks for all your replies - they gave me plenty to think about.
I ended up re-purposing a bike storage rack that I had -

Mounted it to the side of the garage -

...and then protected it with an old duvet cover and strapped the top in case it tries to fall forward -
