New T-TOP Hangers! CHEAP!!
Each, from Home Depot, complete with screws and padding: $4.95
I nailed 2x4's to the wall, then screwed the hangers to them - to give the tops room to 'lean in' from the padded surface of the hangers I got:
They will hold 45 pounds each!

What happens the next time we get an earthquake? I know it sounds stupid but it could happen. I would have a length of rope go accross both of them vertically (or a bungie cord if you want to be fancy) just so they cant fall off the next time our ground starts to shake. Also it might save you if you accidently bump one of them or somthing falls against them.
That reminds me, I havn't felt an earthquake for awhile now. uh-oh... I just jinksed us. knock on wood

And yes when I get out tomorrow I am going to buy a couple of bungee cords for the tops. A couple of sideways 10-penny nails in those beams will give the bungee cords a place to hold on to ...

Wonder if this would work on for a hardtop? That is a good idea for a place to stow the t-tops. Just hope you don't get caught out in a rainstorm.

Thats a pretty good idea. It sure beats putting them on the garage floor propped up against the side where they could get kicked, since they are below eye level. This may go on my rainy day todo list. Which in San Jose will be any day for the next 6 days.
