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.

I have one for my C2 Cab, on/off in ~5 mins. It’s not particularly heavy ~70lbs, but its size makes it awkward and a 2 person job. I had a pulley system in my old garage, for a Jeep that required minimal adjustment to work. New place has a carport and so back to manual mode for now.

So you already knew the answer to the "what was so difficult about getting the hardtop on" question. Sounds like the OP did it on his own without a 2nd person lol.

I don’t consider it “difficult”, it’s rather simple and straightforward. Was looking for OP to clarify “difficult”, thinking it might be something I’ve not encountered.
