Putting the hardtop on and off is an pretty easy task with two people. Although it only ways 44lbs its a tough shape to get a grib of by yourself. But it can be done with a little bit of technique solo. Once you get the top on the car a little wiggle into place and its very easy to lock it shut, taken off is even easier. Hope my .02 helps.

yes its as easy as the pic. you can take the hardtop off in 30 seconds, and putting it back on is just as quick. .. you just need that extra hand to help.

ive man handled my top by myself once but i dont recommend doing it. i wont do it again.

At first it's kind of a pain IMO, you have to make sure it's on right. But it's easy once you do it the first time.

Hangs from the ceiling on a block and tackle.

I have been thinking about one of those 12V winches. If the amperage was not too high, it could be powered from the accessory port.

Before I moved mine hung from the ceiling on a winch. It was very easy to get it on and off.
