If you own a convertible and a hardtop to go along with it, you should seriously consider using a hoist or lift to mount and remove the top. Here are a few reasons to choose a hoist over a dolly, cart, or cradle...
1. Mounting and removing the top is now a one-person job.
2. This method avoids the tricky procedure where you and a friend have to lift
the top up and over your car to mount it or set it aside--one slip and you've got serious damage. 3. You can leave the top suspended, to save on garage space.
4. Leaving a hardtop on a dolly exposes it to accidental bumps and scrapes.
We've thoroughly tested these designs, and they are both strong and easy to use. Our design is easier to use compared to other hoists--there is no cumbersome strap to 'unthread' from under the top after it's been lowered, or to 'rethread' in order to raise it--the overall procedure is simpler. This simplicity allows you to mount or remove the top on a whim, and take advantage of nice weather when it presents itself, or to give your car added hardtop protection when needed.
Currently we're offering the hardtop hoist for the BMW Z3, the 1996-2006
3-series and M3, the Anniversary Edition Ford Thunderbird (2002-2005),
the 1990-2005 Mazda Miata (MX-5), and the Honda S-2000. In the near future we'll be expanding the line to include hoists for other types of tops.
Pricing is $179 for the manual hoist, and $349 for the electric version. Shipping charges are what it costs us to ship the item, with no inflated handling charges, and is generally $19 for the manual hoist, and $39 for the electric version--see the policies page for more details. As of now, we accept PayPal, credit cards, and Google Checkout.
