like someone pointed out... it's not just about chopping off the top... if you did that you'de run a risk of your car breaking in half.

it's been covered plenty of times before. The roof on our cars are structural, as it is in all unibodies. However, the convertible was a frame/unibody hybrid (that's what I'm calling it anyway) It had more support in the bottom.

Also, why does it seem that many of the cars GM decides to make a convertible have a framed window in their coupe versions! Yet another obstacle to overcome.

I think that some other companies did them before, but I think all the ones now GM makes themselves. (at least the regular production ones)
