    Abstract: A tool designed for use with vehicles having tops. The tool has two hook ends that are slidably connected, with a lever handle connection the two hook ends such that the two hook ends may be drawn together by operation of the lever handle. The tool is positioned with one hook in the tie-down hook of a Jeep windshield and the second hook disposed around the front bar of a soft top to be installed on the vehicle. As the lever handle is operated, the tool draws the soft top forward to the windshield, allowing a user to clamp the soft top to the windshield.
