Not suggesting you actually go this way if you're OK spending the money for the eztop. But if the cost is an issue for you and you're the least bit handy you could probably adapt one of these for your purpose easily. They use a soft sling to support the canoe/kayak (unlike the beam system on the eztop), which would likely need to be carefully placed to avoid denting the window seals.

Harken hoist, $90 on EBay.
