Hard Top Hoist/Lift Help

[FLUndertaker]

agree on the space issue but have read some claiming that if hanging as you do by corners for extended periods of time, may causing "warping" (if that is the right word) of the hard top shape, over time, and then leaks etc....

The heavier rear part is supported by the straps wrapping around the corner and going underneath. The front is light. Mine was off all last summer snd had no issues this winter once I put it back on.

Naw. Can't see that happening at all. Think about it - you bolt down the corners, pulling them back down snug.
The only way there would be a problem is if the corners warped DOWN, leaving it high in the center (but then again, there are bolts in the middle of the rear, too)
Take a bowed piece of steel, bolt it to a flat surface. The bolts will pull it down flat again.
Not only will these not "warp", but bolting it back on would pull things down.
I also can't imagine how the corners of what is basically a box in the back could be warped upward and not crack the back of the top.
