Default SoftTop Storage

So I have both the hard-top and soft-top and currently I am running with my soft-top. Does anyone have any suggestions for storing the soft-top and associated parts?

My idea was to use two-ladder hangers from lowes and mount them to the garage wall. This doesnt provide storage for the windows but I could use the clover leaf bag and attach it to the hangers as well.

The hangers look like this:



So I would mount two of those to sit on the inside corners of the top and use the straps on the bag to hang the windows as well.

Comments, opinions?

I have the same dilema as you my friend. I like your idea and was thinking of doing something similar. Quadratec and 4wd both sell something similar that I've seen but don't remember the price. I'm sure your idea is much cheaper.

I have been doing something like that for the past two years. Works great!

Default I use an old bike rack.

I just used an old bike rack I got at Target 5 years ago, works great. Given I no longer have two bikes, it became soft top storage.

I mount the windows to the wall using two spring clamps....The storage bag is not neccessary



I mount my soft top to the ceiling using two ladder hooks and a piece of pvc with two bike hooks to hold the arms up.. I just back under it, swing it down and bolt it on when I need it.
