My side windows are fixed in place, but the sunroof comes out, so likely something I can do there.

Cargo straps with hooks. Hook at the front corners of the canopy near the windshield curve, and the other two wherever you can get them to grab at the back low corners (C-clamps will help here). Criss-cross the straps over the top of the canopy and lift from the center. That way, all the stress is distributed across the structure. Or... a 2x4 stuck inside and wedged against the firewall and the canopy top edge 
Just don't bump it.

So I yanked the windows today. I wasn't going to get that much in to this project right now, but I couldn't see a really good way to hold the roof up without taking out the windows. And it was on the someday list anyway. So that's done.
The new starter (T3 - Auto) arrived the other day, but a friend was visiting, so I haven't had a chance to try it. I'd put the rear tire back on so I could roll the car and put the straps up. I'm kinda focused on getting the canopy working first, as I don't like not being able to get in the car without a second person around.
