I was looking through the threads and saw different ones that have been made. I thought I would show my version of a one man hard top removal.

Some 2x4's I already had from another project, lag screws, and a hoist I picked up on sale plus another 20% off.


Add some heavy duty tie down straps, I also already had, and a little time to find the center of gravity for the top.


A few height adjustments for the garage door.


Finally some added support to store without putting stress on the hoist. A quick trip to the hardware store for chain and other hardware.



The chain is extra long because I saw a write up on the forum that had a platform. I can use the longer chain when I have time to build one.

I added some foam to the hooks later. All in all I did not spend very much, if you compare to removal and storage products I found on the web.

Plus, I made the wife extremely happy since she no longer has to help lift the top off anymore.

looks great

I have a similiar set-up I just lower the top back down on to a cart I made and wheel it out of the way

Nice job I wish I had the overhead clearance for something like that in my garage. I just use the buddy system. It works for now.
