I saw one of these bracket sets at www.spyderchat.com.
Spyderchat member and Toyota parts man, Steve Ganz at Carson Toyota in California,
had a group buy for Postert brand items. These brackets were included in the items
available for import.
The price seemed reasonable and I needed to store the Hard Top during the summer
months, so I ordered one. |

Postert Wall Mount Brackets
|
First the directions were sketchy, so I needed to measure the top
bracket width. Center to center of the rearward latches is where you need to measure.
|
Once again, I needed center to center. In inches it came out to be
48 1/2 inches. That told me to mount the wall hanging brackets at 48 1/2 inches to
their center as well.
|
|
Both wall plates were screwed fast with framing screws at a centered
measurement of 48 1/2 inches. The brackets after they are fastened and adjusted to
the top, hook right in these.
|
 At that distance apart, they allowed the bottom of the
bracket to line up perfectly with the wall stud where the lower portion needs to
rest.
|
|
This shows the entire bracket on one side. first latch the bottom latch to the bracket
same as on the car. Then the upper adjustment can be tightened to the rear hook on
the hard top for a nice solid fit. Once the brackets are fastened to the top, just
lift it up an the hooks on the brackets fit right in the wall plates.
|
Once you lift the top on to the wall brackets, it slides right into
place. The front of the hard top stands away from the wall
