How do you store your other top when not in use?

Where did you get the stuff etc?

Thanks

I made a simple 2x4 storage rack with foam around the pieces that touch the top. So it hangs nicely in the garage

I use the glass top almost exclusively. We store the white top in a padded storage bag that we bought from C5 Creations. It works great and has handle so we can hang it from a nail on the wall in our garage. Very strong and safe.

C5 Creations

They also make a great padded storage bag that attaches inside the trunk so when we take off the glass top it is stored and protected in this other bag.

Also bought at C5 Creations

I bought two pieces of galvanized pipe and two plates that the pipe screws into. The plates have four holes on them and I lined up two each on studs in the garage and screwed it to the wall. Then, I took pipe insulation and wrapped it around the pipe. I wrap the top in a sheet and rest it upside down on the pipe. It takes up virtually no room on the wall and is easy to get to.

Default Made a Bracket...

I made a wall bracket from parts at Home Depot.
Two shelf brackets, two leg inserts and a set of fastening straps.
Send your email address and I'll send pics if you want.

There's also a ready made bracket available from Ecklers but I have not seen or used it - only saw it here.

Wrapped in a towel and stored under the couch.
I like the Colored roof cause it makes the car look like an FRC.
