Have not actually weighed my hardtop, but without window in and liner, I move
it all around by myself, horse it into position for fitting (this is a
restoration project at this point, so not in finish paint) and out of the way
for storage. Can't weigh more than about 60 to 70 pounds.

No idea what it
weighs, but I'm sure it's less than 500 pounds.

For my
TR3A, I used some flat iron strap (from Home Depot) to bend and drill
3
'hooks' to go under the door openings on each side, and the center of the
back
rail. Linked them together with cotton rope, tied to a single rope
that goes
over a pulley made from a baby buggy wheel and fastened to the
rafters with
more strap iron. Then it's tied off to some nails in the side
wall. Still
hanging there 20 years later.
