I just did the same thing. Works great. When you lower it back down are you worried about flexing the top? Do you lower one side at a time? I realize it’s only a few inches. But I hear stories of people glass exploding out of the back window and I worry flexing the top, even slightly, could do this. I may try to get the topsy lifting eyes for the back and set up a single pull setup.

See my post above, but I did this for two different hardtops (2d and 4dr) over 6.5 years and never had a problem. I can raise/lower each corner with pretty good control because I use a strap at each corner.
