Mounting Points for DIY Hardtop Hoist?

[MrSahara19]

Can anyone help me locate where the hooks go on the hardtop for hoisting with ratchets on the JL??? All videos I’ve seen have them fitting/hooking into rear window wiring covers (non JL) and bolt hole top side of hardtop for front side -

The rear is the hardest part as only one said the lifted it slightly and hooked it from bottom

Forward most points should be at angle in front of rear window, fairly intuitive. Rear points should be your Topsy brackets ;-)

For topsy, they offer hooks that go into your rear window hinges. Their straps use the rancor hoist which is 4’ from the back hinges.

Look for my post on 07/12-13/2019. My pictures show the 2 straps on the left side (front left and rear left) hook to each other inside the top. The 2 straps on the right (front right and rear right) hook to each other inside the top as well. I used a 12.5" piece of "pool noodle" to cushion each of the 4 corners. I was afraid just hooking the end of the ratchet strap to each corner would snap the corner off.
