Sweet work, wish I still had my hard top cuz I'd copy you exactly. Got rid of it though cuz I didn't have a good place to store it during the warm months.

I always planned on doing something like this but it wouldn't have been 10% as stock looking. Props son.

Strong work. Not a mod that I would do, but glad to see it put together for others.

Bump for an awesome mod. I will def be doing this soon!

Another option to fitment is Yakima has a track base which this ski rack slides and adjust into. All you would have to do is drill holes matching the hard top screws, get new screws if needed and cut track smaller. the track has removable rubber ends so it will look clean once you cut it. I found everything used for $230.

Hmm that looks amazing. I was gonna take the thule 300 clips for raingutters and bend the taps flat and drill holes. I think this looks much cleaner though.

Perfect, Thank you.

no, q-towers are for the coupes... you want the "control towers" listed under permanent installation...

I went to the Yakima site and I think this is what you used minus the clips for the rain gutter. Is this the right one?

a few more pictures for your enjoyment...

I think I'll be ordering the hardware in stainless in the next few days as mine have started to corrode in less than 2 months in Hawaii's salty air... :-/

Great Job! Just what I have been looking for.

Cheers,
