I have a similar +8 being a 1994 and the lifters (mine are the John Taylor lifters) are really good they make putting up the hood so much easier. I attach the hood to the rear, sides and front studs, lift it up over my head as I get in the front seat then pull the bars into position over my head. The bars hold the droopy top in position which then allows me to reach both lift handles and easily move them into place applying tension to the roof and setting in position. No more huffing and puffing pulling the roof to get it over the studs, etc. and so much quicker.
