Default Show me how u store ur Targa top.

I want to hang the top on the garage wall. I have seen some holders on Ecklers and some of the other vendors.
Show me how or what you are using.

I've got a very similar setup in my garage with this rack:

Nobody has noticed it yet.

I store mine under the guest bed as well, resting on the top (outside part). That way it won't compress the weatherstrip pieces on the edges and corners.

Here's a rack that meets all Redneck Engineering guidelines: Cheap, efficient and ugly! It is out of sight in a storage room, and works great.

Cut a 2x4 with a contour slightly smaller than the rear of the top. Drill two holes for the roof rear studs. Cover with cheap felt.





Screw on wall. A velcro loop pad will keep it from touching the wall and a bungee strap secures it. The studs support the steel frame so it is in no strain and the weatherstrip isn't deformed.



It's not pretty but it has worked well for several years.
