Abstract

See full text

A storage system for sport utility hardtops and other vehicle parts including accessories. The system includes a storage cart that can be secured to the rear portion of the hardtop while the hardtop is still positioned atop the vehicle body. The hardtop and secured cart can then be lifted off the vehicle body as a unit and the cart placed on a garage floor or other horizontal surface. The stored hardtop is essentially upright on the cart and takes up a minimum of floor space. The cart preferably has rollers and the upright hardtop and cart can be easily and quickly moved across the floor to any convenient storage area and enclosed in a protective cover. The storage system also includes a caddy for the other vehicle parts including accessories. The caddy is designed to mate with the cart and the hardtop stored on it.
