kk>>Rotary lifts have a horizontal rubber covered tube which pivots
on one end and is connected to a cutoff switch at the other. Of course this
won't save the windshield on your convertible, and if something (like an
antenna) sticks up higher than the center of the car does, it'll hit the
ceiling before the roof of the car hits the cutoff switch.
