Extra top storage options?
Ok.. most of you have both the smoked glass top and the body-color solid top (I'm assuming.) What method do you use to store the extra top when not in use? Did you wind up making something to store it in? Are there any decent OEM solutions that don't cost several appendages? I noticed that West Coast Corvette had some sort of cheesy bag you could put the top in and hang it up, but I didn't like the looks of it. Thanks for the input!

Ecklers and Mid-America both offer a vinyl storage bag for the top. They are actually not a bad investment, but you can get buy with simply wrapping it in a blanket. Many store their top under a bed. When I had my '99, which had the dual top option, I stored it in the basement.

I bought 2 large J hooks that bolt to the wall at a Farm Supply Store for $ 1.29 each. Bought 4 hex bolts. I took 2 old shop towels and wrapped them around the bottom of the J. Then set top in there.
