Couple of rubber coated hooks from Home Depot. Top hook is to avoid "accidents"!

EDIT: To avoid accidents as my neighbor encountered with his Harley detachable windshield :
Make sure the hooks are in the STUDS!

After considering various expensive options, went to Home Depot and bought a V-shaped hanger already padded with foam insulation -- for $2.59. Screwed both screws into a stud, put the top on it, and (though not needed) added a bungee cord vertically just in case someone bumped it. Quick cheap, safe, and secure.

You guys are my freaking heroes...

I have been wondering what to do about that...

My annie has 2 tops and rather than buy 2 racks I will follow all of your lead and figure something out. THe ones you all built look stronger than the one you buy pre built anyway...
