Title: Pagoda Hardtop Stand
Post by: bowdie on December 08, 2010, 23:59:33

Hi

Has anyone tried these stands?  Any views on them?

I'm thinking of picking one up for my 250sl

Thanks,
Chris.

I have what I think to be a lighter duty one.  It works fine and is very convenient.

I have what looks like the same one and it works fine.  Mine has an aluminum frame and I believe is a bit wider.  I seem to recall the two uprights are more in line with the rails on the hard top roof.  Nice if you want to move the top around your shop or garage.

Hi Chris,

I have one like that and it is good and easy to wheel around with the roof on it but you need a roof bag as well as any dust will settle not just on the back window but also on part of the roof lining.

I use a hoist to remove the roof, put the roof bag on it and then lower it onto the rack , put another cover over the lot and wheel it to the side of the shed.  It enables me to put the hard top on and off on my own and all works well.
