Hey people,

I may have stumbled upon a good way of removing and then storing the hardtop off the S2k.

I was browsing through ebay and spotted a Bicycle hoist system and instantly thought, that would be a good way of getting the hardtop off the car and it would be a one person job.
The hardtop could them be stored on the hoist in the rafters of the garage well out of the way.

There are a couple of things i'm not completely sure on though. one being that the product says it has a maximum lift weight of 20kg.
Does the OEM hardtop way more than 20kg?
The other sticking point is whether i could trust the hardtop to be suspended over the car all the time. If it fell and the car was underneath, it would do some serious damage

What do you folks think of this? and has anyone else used something like this for there hardtop?

Cheers
Blair

You can buy (or make) HT hoists.

My Dad made one for me, from old seatbelts in my garage
