Default 2DR hardtop weight??

Anyone have good information on the weight of the back portion of the hard top on a 2DR? Was looking at a couple bike hoists that Costco sell that holds up to 100# and wondering if these would work with holding up the weight of the top?

The driver and front passenger roof sections have a mass of approximately 15 lb (7 kg) each, while the rear panel with glass, hardware, and wiring has a mass of approximately 80 lb (36 kg) on the two-door and 95 lb (43 kg) on the four-door.

Just spend the few extra bucks for the Harken hoister and be done with it. It works perfectly.

You'll love it. Fast, one person removal and install. When I store mine all summer up there, I do put the entire load on a pair of ratchet tie downs and let the hoister be the back up. Probably over kill, but that's how I roll.
