That's exactly what I'd like!  I know how easy it would be to access the
luggage rack - since my skylight doesn't have functioning rollers, I can
open it all the way, too!  Would you please let me know what size it is.  It
actually looks like I could manage installing this myself.  I wouldn't feel
comfortable cutting metal, but there's no metal to cut, and there's already
a point of reference.   I just didn't think it could be done because of the
grooves and channels on the poptop, but this is great news!  Thanks!
Patti
