Spent yesterday and today morning swapping tops. Thanks to the @TopLiftPros hoist and electric motor it became almost a one man job from three. I will be storing my Hard Top
On the Top Lift Hoist for next six months.

Check out below pics and video. On the video, can those more experienced than me critique my work and let me know if all three of my windows are secure and all the way in? That was a huge PITA due to temps in 60s but I think I got it thru.

This post is reminding me that my son and I have to swap the soft top onto my wife's JLUS soon as well.

Anyway, the bottom tab on the side windows and rear corners look like they're connected properly. It's hard to see if you got the upper rail on the window slid into the U-channel on the roof from the pics and video but if they are then it should be fine.

Oh the upper rail is absolutely fine as I just did an 80 MPH test on the highway for ten miles with the four power windows down all the way. If something was off the windows would have fallen apart at that speed

Great work finding a place to sustain 80mph for 10 min in Long Island at 5pm! Sure isn’t on my commuting route, that’s for sure

East end between Exit 68 and riverhead on the LIE. It is a straight way and didnt have much traffic.

Living and working in Nassau I often forget how much traffic falls off east of Vets highway. Looks good.
