Suggestion
A simple way of both storing and removing/replacing hardtop is building a wooden frame in your garage to house the hardtop directly above your 996, this way by lifting the hardtop in and out of the frame, always being assisted by 2 other people at least, and normally only once or twice a year, the scenario is simple and trouble-free.

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

As an owner of a C2 Cab who hasn't yet had the hard top off. can anyone offer some advice about different forms of storage, or is the Porsche 'trolly' the best option?

POST 3Original post

Tony I have 3 possible solutions . I have recently sold my 996 cab (with hard-top) and have a new 997 cab arriving soon without a hard top. Consequently I have an Easy Hoist with electric control for removing and storing a hard top for sale at £500. It is about a year old and new is over £750. It will operate with only one person and is a cinch to use. I have another much cheaper garage roof hoist purchased from USA which is on sale for £100 and a collapsable trollet to store the roof also for £100. If you are interested I can email you photos etc etc. my email is [email removed] Jonathan

Tony A simple way of both storing and removing/replacing hardtop is building a wooden frame in your garage to house the hardtop directly above your 996, this way by lifting the hardtop in and out of the frame, always being assisted by 2 other people at least, and normally only once or twice a year, the scenario is simple and trouble-free. Please feel free to contact myself for further information, I do agree it is a important subject and if space is restricted the selections trolley/hardtop holder can be a issue, the space above your 996 and garage roof is normally spare space. Hope this helps Johnny McGirl
