Glad you had a chance to do it before Winter. I took mine off for the first time in the Summer without any assist devices. Just me and my neighbor managed to do it and it was rough. My dad, my brother, and I put it back on a few days later which was even worse . Since I don't have a garage, I was looking into things like the TopLift Pro but was struggling with finding an outdoor storage solution. Thankfully, my parents let me install a hoist in their garage and keep it there half the year (I've got great parents!).
