Hardtop Hoists

[LZeitgeist]

EZTop hoist users - headliner problems?

So, any further info on the EZTop hoist and the headliner separation problems?

The good friend of mine for whom I do handyman stuff (and who bought the 2004 Pacific Coast that I am now a fellow enthusiast of) purchased the EZTop hoist since it also featured the ratcheting crank-type lift mechanism, and if it causes problems with her car, I'd like to know how to correct (or preferably avoid) them... any further insights from anyone?

Thanks in advance...

Did he store the top using the hoist or the storage rack? I have a different brand but haven't used it yet. They do not recommend using it as a storage device.

I haven't installed it for her yet - haven't even really had a chance to go over and take it out of the box yet to check it out. I just figured I'd gather the information I could before we started using it, to find out if there were techniques discovered in the meantime to avoid problems...

I took mine out of the boxes, then put all the parts back in the boxes and called my brother. Asked him to stop by sometime and check it out. Boy there sure are a lot of parts to that thing.

Oh, parts don't scare me...

Now, her top getting damaged while using the thing, THAT scares me.

I might head over and check it out if I can find time to do so this weekend. She doesn't seem to be in too much of a rush to 'go topless', but with the weather the way it's been here for the last few days, I can't imagine why... I'd have had the hardtop offa that thing the first clear night I owned it. ::chuckle::

Well I am glad my top is still on, it is 33 degrees, and feels like 25, in Missouri. The bun warmer sure feels goooooood today

Had them on today as well. But that is because it was a little chilly driving on the freeway at 7:30 pm with the top down while wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
