These are pics of my HT storage system as promised. It's a one person on/off device. You'll need to improvise depending upon what materials are available where you live. Most of my stuff was bought at a super hardware store, like Home Hardware, Revy, etc.

1st pic shows some of the hardware. I used single pulleys from the hangers above each hook.

The round thing is a 3# weight so the hooks will come down when not loaded.

Hanging HT just after I drove the car out.

The HT in its final storage place just above the open garage door.

Rear hook -- as you can see, the rubber seal is NOT deformed.

Nice going. That's a real good setup. Did you make that up on your own?

 

Wow, how cool, so where do you live so i can back into your garage and test out your device

s2kblk: Nice going. That's a real good setup. Did you make that up on your own? -- Yes, my very own self. No space, so "necessity is the Mother of invention".

 

Very nice. Honda doesn't throw in the factory stand with the hardtop?

Does the stand at least come with the cover?

 

Very nice! Definately will have to consider something like
that once the hardtop comes in.

 

Wow...Pretty good invention...
