I've had mine on a hoist for about 5 summers, and I haven't noticed any distortion.

This photo was taken before I had a cover for it. I like that the top is off the floor and protected from possible damage.

I still have a helper when I install or remove the top. I could put my Miata hardtop on by myself, but it was smaller and lighter.

i have a folding stand with castors for the hard tops - about £50 ($75) from fleabay and just found a fitted cover with the porsche logo for £35, so bought two of those as well (not official porsche ones, copies) from the same auction site.
