Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It's almost time to take off the hardtop here in CA. Anyone have any input regarding a ceiling mounted hardtop hoist? Who makes the best one? Can I put a cover on the hard top prior to hoisting it? Is a cover even necessary? Thanks in advance. <img border="0" alt="[bigbye]" title="" src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" /> T.K.

POST 2Original post

I did a little research on this last year. the one that Performance Products sells (manual hoist for about $185) had the best "pickup points to protect the edges of the hardtop. Also learned that the pickup points kept the top from warping as it hung thru the winter. so I bought one, but haven't set it up yet. Up here on the Cape we're good with the hardtop until mid April when the jerks who put the million tons of salt on the roads decide to wash it off. Anyway,it's in PP's catalog....may even show on line <a href="http://www.performance" target="_blank">www.performance</a> products.com

I have a hoist for my Miata hardtop. You might check with Mazda. I got it when I bought the car used. It works great.
