When I bought my R129 I lifted the panoramic roof on and off with the vender. It is very very heavy. I am no light weight but because of the awkward angle you have to hold your arms, i.e. outstretched, to clear the back of the car it is extremely awkward. You run severe danger of damaging the back end of the car and in fact have had to get several scratches and dents removed because the previous owner had removed it with the help of his fairly petite wife. A winch is by far the safer and less risky option, unless of course you have access to two people built like Mike Tyson.
