I had to weigh my hood so I could ship it and it weighd 35 lbs very light. Took mine off myself no problem, much easier with an extra pair of hands, well, unless they got some butterfingers then you could be in trouble. A blanket helps so it don't slide around and hit anything. Have a nice soft place to set it down before you take it off so you don't chip a corner setting it down. Paul (Lukesvette's) not kidding without the hood on you got all the room in the world to poke around in, kinda makes you want some quick release hinges.
I would be very careful about foam on the T tops. Foam has a funny way of getting dirt in the little holes in the foam and could transfer to the T tops if somethin is moved or slid accidently.
A better idea is the blanket then a layer of the foam, and another blanket to protect both the hood and the blanket from damage.
