I drive around all summer with the nuts removed from the doortop studs and the doortops just sitting in place. Whenever I get the inclination I just pull them and lay them in the rear tub. My 109 is a blue-collar daily-driving rover, not a show truck so I don't really sweat it if the tops rattle around a a tiny bit back there.
If I was worried about the doortops, I'd just build and carry a bag to hold them and bungee them to the rear bulkhead.--Mark

Herb Zipkin had a nice set up with his 109. Basically, he had receiving tubes mounted to the side of his trick so he could remove the door tops and mount them to the back. Probably a bit more involved than you wanted but it certainly was clever. I just use a blanket to wrap them like jonnyc said. There are special bags you can get for them too. I'm sure our hosts have them.Comment

I have Badger Coachworks door tops, and they came with a nice storage bag. I just put them in the bag & lay them in the back.
However, I've been thinking about making a storage 'rack' for them. My thought was a piece of 4x4 that is bolted to the tub (somewhere, not sure where yet). The 4x4 would have holes drilled in it for the door top studs. Just pull the door tops off and put them in the rack.Comment

For what it is worth my defender has a decal calling out to remove the door tops from the vehicle. I asked a friend about this who lives in south Africa where there is an abundance of defenders and the issue is that they become dangerous, maiming projectiles in the event of an accident. That said I can't imagine my series going fast enough for anything to become a dangerous maiming projectile....1995 NAS D-90 Soft Top, AA Yellow
