Default 2nd Top Storage.....??

Went to Search and could not find any information on storing the 2nd Coupe top. Has anyone developed a garage wall mount for this purpose ?

I have had the solid top on, and changed to the Poly top for a afternoon cruise. Right now I have it laying on a plywood cross member I put between the ramps on my 4 post lift. It is safe and secure there but obviously not a permanent fix.

I put mine in a storage bag and hang it on the wall using two 30" loops of 3/16" Nylon rope hung from hooks screwed into the wall 36" apart. I hold the top up to the wall and slip the loops under each end from the outside. It's easier with two people, but I can do it alone.

Bought two sets of "J" brackets at hardware store. Put second top in a storage bag I bought from a vendor here on the forum and mounted it on the garage wall out of the way.

I believe they manufacture them and sell to others for resale. I've also seen them offer for retail sale from time to time.

I built a cabinet about 9" deep, lined with carpet, large enough to hold both tops. Being only 9" deep, it doesn't take up much room in garage. One top rests on bottom of cabinet, one on a shelf. Made it slightly wider than top, and tall enough for two tops. In the Spring and Fall I leave both tops at home.
