I saw a pulley setup used on a M-B SL that was pretty nice. Unattach the top,
slip
four rubber coated "hooks" opposing different sides of the hardtop. pull a rope
that goes through a set of pulleys attached to the ceiling. and secure it to the

just a little bit of ingenuity, but it made and impression on me when I saw it.

lost your head when you moved away! : )
