Cool, guy did a nice job. Will have to remember that for future use when I get myown house.

To clear a factory rollbar and a low ceiling. What about using runners the length of the hardtop with eyelits on each corner. Then bolting the top through the mounting bolts to the runners?

Yeah I measured. I am going to run a 2x4 or 2x6 underneath where the top bolts down. I will cover them in a rubber wrap to keep from scratching the beside while I am setting them under the top. I'm going to put 2 pins which would be bolts with the heads and nuts recessed into the board to align the top on the board and so it doesn't pop out. Then put the eyelits front to rear of the top instead of side to side. I think it would work great. The height of my garage and my factory roll-bar was the only reason I didn't do it before.

Too cool. If I ever get a garage this is on my MUST DO list.
