If you are and a partner are carrying it don't bump it against anything. The corners and edges are a little brittle. Found this out when my wife let the driver rear corner kiss a fender. Didn't mark the plastic fender at all but now have a small hairline crack about 3/8" long in the top's corner. Sounded like an egg cracking.

Default Hardtop removal.

I needed to be able to remove the top and put it back on by myself and i don't have the garage space, so i used two ladders, and a cheap winch. When finished, the whole thing can be broken down and packed away back into garage.

The thing doesn't weigh much, it's just unwieldy. Lift it off, set it down.
