    Vert owners - How do you store your hardtop?

    Trying to get some ideas on how to store my hardtop. So far, I've just been leaning it up against the wall in my garage. But I'd like to find a better solution and clear up some floor space. Anyone using a hoist or hanging it on a wall?

    Ceiling hoist. A friend of mine made one out of a wire crank and steel tubing. $40 and some welding.

          That hoist is sweet! I need to make one for my Brother's hardtop.

                    ^^^ Thanks for the hoist ideas. I contacted this company and was told that they've sold hoists to e30 owners in the past with no fitment issues.

                    Easily mount and remove your convertible's hardtop all by yourself. Save on garage space. Hardtop may be suspended indefinitely to protect it from damage.

                      This just your way of saying "look at me I have a hard top" isn't it?

                      *wants a hard top*

                            Sweet, funny thing is Barry (reelizmpro) and myself were discussing the storage of hard tops, the other day. I know for you vert guys, it's gotta be somewhat inconvinient when no hoist is available, right?
