I have an electric penthouse top, so i'm not in the market - but thats a cool concept. I'm assuming you have a manual top and your interest lies in a simple solution to assist in raising your top? If you decide to implement these it would be interesting to follow the application & your thoughts afterwards. Keep us posted.
Edit: Wasnt able to uncover weight limitations on these - have you already inquired?
pretty cool. would be a nice backup plan for a failed electric top, but theres no listing or weight ratings anywhere.

I know aluminess used to make these but haven't heard much about them since SMB started putting in power tops.
Hi! Aluminess still makes an air actuated lift for pushing up pop tops. Lifts top with ease with just a small air compressor. Large version lifts up to 450 Pounds.
