Hey guys....looking to be able to install/remove my hardtop by mysel.
I imagine there have been tons of systems people have come up with over the years...
If you can post some links of those that have worked best/simplest.

I appreciate it!

 

Here is one thread but there are a few more if you dig around and look for them. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...ic=678568&st=0

 

just bought a hoist/lift for my hardtop. should have it by tomorrow (monday).
i'll let you know what it's like...after i install it.

 

where did you pick it up from? if you bought it new shoot me over a link..thanks

 

I went to Northern Tool and bought rope and pulleys. Pretty simple stuff.

 

Hey that is mine!


from my experiance, I would suggest using cable (plastic coated) for the part that the HT sits on. The ropes stretch a good amount. The updated version with cable does not have the pVC pipe since it snapped during the first hoist attempt.

Please let me know if you have any questions I would be happy to help.

Also total cost for my set up including the now unused PVC was under $100.

 

bought it used but made by eztop hardtop hoists.
still haven't gotten around to unpacking it...

 

a few self tapping screws into the pvc joints will stop the flexing of the pvc and thus prevent it pulling apart from the weight of the HT.
