Larry,
While the Tiger does not have a lift, my 2005 T-Bird now does. Same
solution for both cars.
Fortunately the T-Bird hoist, (manual) came with a lifting fixture to
protect the top, but a little fabrication can do that. A foam covered
tube through the window opening at the back corner, and a web connection
to the hoist, and a similar web to the rear edge, will do the trick. A
typical one can be found at:

(Nice Pics , $329, manual winch)
or mine @:
http://64.225.94.154/ShopSite/page50.html ($235)
The electric hoist, itself, currently 440 lb capacity @ $90, came from
Harbor Freight:

Good Fortune,
Steve
