One system I saw, and recreated, was designed to hook underneath the bottom of the top at three places, in the dead center of the back lower edge, underneath the quarter windows next to the attachment points, and in the center of the front edge of the roof. The best system of support I saw used large, circular "buffing pad" like fixtures to support the roof just inside the rubber molding... Kinda neat. IF you need sketches, or links (if I can find them) PM with your e-mail address...

I was just not comfortable with the idea of 90+ pounds hanging above my car, body, anything else that should pass beneath.
