Here is a picture - the product is made by Auto Pak - I used the large size which is suitable for 996, Merc SL's etc.

I use a special hard top bag that mounts straight to the wall and has the extra benefit of padding the hardtop and protecting it from damage.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I usually store my hardtop lying flat on a cushy mat on my basement floor during the driving season. My workshop is taking over this basement space so I am in the market for a different storage solution.
I am thinking of purchasing one of these wall mounted racks. Do these work well? Any concerns?

Mike,
There was just a thread about this last week do a quick look for it. That unit in the link is very misleading, it's showing the wall rack, the cab roof rack, the trolley and it looks like that's all for $200+ dollars. If so I got ripped off, I paid over a grand for my trolley and the hard top cover with the porsche crest.
Rob
Thanks Rob - sorry I didn't see those previous posts.
Yes, the price is just for the rack - not the trolley. The image is definitely misleading. I figured I could build a trolley if needed, and for a lot less cost!
Mike
We were discussing the storage rack for the cab's removable hardtop. If you are looking for a coupe roof rack, check out this link:

Mike
thanks Riad, I think you answered my question...I need a rack for my removable hard top not the soft top version and where can I get one? TIA
P.S. Where does the rack go because the hard top does not have the adapters like the coupe?
Hmm, I think the roof rack system for the cabs works with the hardtop too, not sure, but you can call any Porsche dealer and they would be able to order it for you.
I use a special hard top bag that mounts straight to the wall and has the extra benefit of padding the hardtop and protecting it from damage. See this thread

They don't make a roof rack that attaches to the hard top. The only roof rack for cabrios attaches to the A pillar and bracket that is just behind and outward of the rear windows. The rack in the pic must just be laying there.
Hi Greg,
The Autopak is a re-inforced nylon 'bag' with a soft padded lining. It has a zipper in a large U shape across the front to put the hardtop into the bag and close it up. The bag then hangs on the wall by two large 'd' rings securely stiched to the rear of the bag. Wall hooks etc are all supplied.
I am very happy with it as it is so well padded there are no risks of kids bikes scratching the h/top and no chance of any accidental damage.
Unfortunately the site where I first heard about the product has gone missing. I actually bought mine from these guys
http://www.type-911.co.uk/ac_carprot.htm
but the dollar/sterling rate really doesn't favour you buying across the pond at the moment.
Perhaps you can drop them a line and ask them if there is a US supplier ?
Sorry I couldn't be of more help..
Mounted my top today to the garage wall. Works good. I used 2 Hang-all brackets from Harbor Freight at $4 each mounted on 1 inch hardwood then to the studs.

what a great idea, thanks for posting. I need to build that in my garage. I�ve got the perfect spot in the corner. Here in Texas we take our hardtops off in the �winter� 😎
