How about replacing that bar that crosses from one side to the
other with a custom shaped one that has a rectangularized U
in it, so that most of the "crossing" part is moved forward
or back?

Could that get it out of your way?

Could it also add leverage to help raise/lower the top?

I went and looked at my snowed-in Westy and tried to imagine,
but I am one-armed and will be for five more weeks, so can't
experiment or visualize while raising or lowering the top,
so I'll just put this idea out....
