Garage Roof rack for <$10....>>
Pardon if this has been posted before, but I've not seen it done. A few bucks for hangers at Lowe's or HD and Voila! Nice sturdy roof holder..
No more shlepping it up the the stairs to hide it under the bed....

I was telling the wife just this morning that I was going to have to make some kind of hanger for the roof that's not on the car. I'm storing mine inside in a closet though so the tremendous heat build-up in the garage doesn't damage the top.
Great job.
Great job.

21" between the top hangers. The lower support is actually optional but I added it as an additional support and security measure. After you mount the top hangers, hang the roof then hold the bottom bracket into position with a little pressure on the lower edge of the roof. Mark and screw to the wall..

I bought some 1/8" nylon rope, and two eye hooks at Home Depot. Installed the eye hooks into on ceiling (through a rafter), and then created a "harness" from the rope that I attached to the eye hooks. When I wanted to store the top, the harness wrapped around the latching mechanisms . I did this in the spare bedroom, so I wanted something that could be easily removed. Worked great, but this looks like another great solution.
