I find NO mention in any manual that the hardtop should be on (only) for jacking up a 107. This is a really strong, ridgid car, and I don't think there would be any problem at all. However, I would NOT do this in ANY convertible with the door or doors open.

TRUE: In high school, some classmates made a convertible for themselves by cutting the roof off of a Buick and tarring the back and cowl, and removing the carpets (it already had drain holes in the floorboards from rust). From 10 feet away, it actually looked pretty good. Fun ended after they got a flat, and jacked up the car. They couldn't open the doors after that!
