1. I took off my hardtop myself this year also; my wife wasn't home.
2. I lifted it off by being on the passenger side, lifting with my right hand from the middle, with my left hand on the back middle of the rear outside edge; after all, it's only 40 lbs.
3. I set it down on the ground, back edge, then picked it up from underneath with my head balancing in the middle, my hands on each side.
4. Balancing it on my head, I walked it back to the shed, around a corner of the house, avoiding the corner of the shed and the grill, having to put it into the shed which has a low entrance.
5. I just had to muscle it, carrying it a few inches off the ground being careful not to hit the entrance of the out building at the bottom and the top.
6. I put it down carefully on the back edge on layers of rug and blankets, with the front part resting on more blankets resting on a shelf on the wall of the outbuilding.
6. If I had a vid of it, it would terrify you!
7. Before anyone says how stupid that was, I agree.
