Default Top Storage

Hi All,

I'm sure this topic has been covered in the forum. I apologize for any duplication.

My C4 came with two tops. I am looking to figure out the best way to store the second top. Back in the day (a Wednesday) most people bought a storage rack for this. I don't know if those are really even available, but if so, are they the best way to store a C4 top? Is there a particular model folks would recommend? Other options? The idea of wall mounting is interesting provided its not too invasive.

A storage rack can be fabbed with abs/ pcv pipe from local home improvement center.

As mentioned a rack can be made out of schedule 40/PVC or you can but 1

But that takes valuable floor space.

Personally I would mount on a wall using a shelf bracket,Wall Ladder rack,bicycle Hooks, or the like into wall studs, and a bungee cord mounted above crossing roof then hooked to shelf bracket

I just use three rubber coated untility hooks mounted to the wall in my garage. Two on the bottom to hold the load and one at the top I turn by hand to keep it from falling/tipping out. Cost about 10 bucks.

Wrap it up in a blanket and stick it under the bed.
