Center of gravity of top

I am in the middle of building me a bracket to remove the top and store in my garage. Do any of you know the measurement for the Center of Gravity?

I know I saw the number somewhere before but can't seem to find it now.

Thanks

Re: Center of gravity of top

I put my front board across the window opening in the front and two feet from the rear of thae hatch to Lift it and that does good. Center of gravity is I'm guessing just behind the rear of the front door above the b pillar on most of these blazers.
