Abstract: A harness for removing automobile roof panels such as targa tops and removable hard tops can include a pair of straps having fastening mechanisms disposed on ends thereof. The fastening mechanisms enable an individual to securely fit the harness about the removable roof panel. The harness is provided with a selectively positionable handle which the user is able to grab and obtain proper leverage when removing the roof panel. The fastening mechanisms are adjustable to allow each strap to be wrapped around the roof panel, connected together, and tightened. When both straps have been tightened with the handle at the selected position on the top of the roof panel, the panel can be lifted from the vehicle with one hand using the handle and the other hand serving as a pivot point.
