Hardtop weight?

Post by Scottmccrary »

Anyone have any idea of the weight of this type of hardtop?

I am trying to design a garage lift for storage in the summer.

Thanks

This is actually a Santana roof, hence different from a „genuine“ Land Rover roof, I suspect yours might be fiberglass.

In any case, the one from my 3 Series 88" has been hanging from the ceiling of my garage ever since I switched to a soft top. I'd say it weighs maybe less than 50 kg; if I remember correctly, it wasn't very heavy, two people could easily handle it.

HTH! :-beer
