Default storing a hardtop

I have a hardtop that I will probably never use. I would like to get it out of the way and don't want to store it above my car (this would make me too nervous). I was thinking about securing it to a wall somehow. Has anyone done something like this? Where are the hard points on the top? Pics would be great.
Thanks

Default Re: storing a hardtop (70vert)

I built a small shelf about 4 feet up on the garage wall. My wife was kind enough to make a cotton cover for it. My top sits straight up with its top against the garage wall. The snow blower and some garden tools fit right under the shelf. It takes two people to get it up and down, but after 18 years - who cares?

I hung mine on the garage wall. I used the bolts on the back of the top to hang it from. It hangs with the back window up and the painted side out.
Works fine.
