<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I can only tell you what I've done, with the caveat that it requires a little finesse in balancing. I bought some Unistrut and bolted it to my ceiling. They make caster plates that ride in the Unistrut, so I bought two
of those and then a 400 lb. harbor freight electric hoist. I roll the hoist so it's over the center of the hardtop, lower it, put a strap through the underside just in front of the quarter windows and lift it off. It requires a little guidance to get the rear
pins to release and then you have to keep it balanced while you roll the whole assembly off to the side of the car so you can lower the hardtop on to a stand (or workbench, floor, whatever).</p>

hoist that works well on the Tiger hardtop.</p>
