   Theres a fair bit of strength in the car roof, so removing it will leave you with a significantly weakened vehicle. Factory convertibles are braced heavily in other places to compensate.
   Doing this would be a very ffolish thing to try.

   So how do you turn it back into a regular sedan? By definition, a “convertible” *CONVERTS* between an open-topped, and enclosed, car.

   I tried removing the roof but you will need a hoist aswel to remove this.

   It looks challenging but definitely a very good car project. My car would look great as a convertible and I hope we can pull this off. Thanks for posting this instruction.
