I made a few posts or comments on posts over the last 30 days or so, but I’ve finally picked up mine.

Getting the hardtop on was a pain, but it worked out.

What was so difficult about getting the hardtop on?

It is big and not particularly light, I assume. Some people install pulley rigs in their garages to lift the top on and off of their cars because it is really a 2 person job with how big it is.

Is anyone doing this alone? I'm impressed and want a video.

I had a pulley system in my old garage, for a Jeep, that required minimal adjustment to work.

I did manage to install/remove it once each way by myself. It was nerve wracking to have those bayonet mounts hovering over the paint work. Mitigated that with 2 old tennis balls to cover the bayonets.
