I saw a pulley setup used on a M-B SL that was pretty nice.  Unattach the top, 
slip
four rubber coated "hooks" opposing  different sides of the hardtop. pull a rope
that goes through a set of pulleys attached to the ceiling. and secure it to the
wall.  Took like 5 minutes, and is stored up in the air over where you parked it
anyway.  Seemed to be a pretty good idea.  I don't know if this kit was bought 
or
just a little bit of ingenuity, but it made and impression on me when I saw it.

I think that I have less space in mine than you do in yours.  I can just look 
around
in mine a lot easier.  There is not any room after the spare any how.

Being a good Southern boy, I resent that, sir.  Unless, your intention was that 
you
lost your head when you moved away!  : )
