Just put mine back on for winter, it's not too heavy but very awkward, definitely a three person job (without a lift). I'd estimate 150lbs.

The two door top weighs about 150#. My son and I have lifted it off, and placed it on the floor with no lifts. I do use the ratchet/hook bolt method to lift and store the top in my garage. I do it my self, and use four ratchets. You can lift each corner and hook your strap under the lip pretty easily. The rear corners are much heavier lifts than the front, because of the rear glass. The rear corners probably require about 50# to lift, while the front corners require about 25#. I can remove the top, remove the freedom panels, and remove and hang the doors up in 16 minutes, by myself.

I think the four door top weighs around 100#?
