If you want to make a convertible out of your car as a tuner, that sounds easy. Quickly cut off the roof with the Flex or the cutting torch and you have the open version of the vehicle. But as simple as that may seem at first glance, it is not that simple. Because of the distance from the roof, one intervenes heavily in the body. Removing it loses its stability. Such a conversion is sometimes even more complex than the conversion of one Sedan to the coupe, to the Combo or to do Pickup. So that the body has stability again, you have to like one Targa conversion make appropriate reinforcements. The reinforcements are usually made via the underbody, such as the side skirts. It is possible to pull in additional beams / reinforcements here. How and to what extent the reinforcement must of course depend strongly on the respective vehicle model.
Stability needs to be restored

In addition to the variant of the electric hood, there is also a model that can be opened and closed manually by hand. Either way, a possibility to firmly lock the convertible top becomes necessary in the area of the windscreen. Conversions cannot be avoided if the car is not to be left open all day in the area. Depending on the selection of the soft top, you may not only have to design the electrical system, but also a switch to operate it. Due to the extensive work that you have to do on the body, you not only have to fill and sand the car accordingly, but also paint. And before you can move the final structure of your convertible on public roads, you need approval from the TÜV. Only with the approval is the conversion to a convertible finally completed and usable legally. Once that is done, you can even think about it Retrofit hardtop to be ready for winter!
