Leaving the roll cage in place a la Jeep Wrangler style shouldn't affect the structural integrity as the body panels.aren't structural. Cutting the top, however, would probably severely weaken the structure. IMHO.The only problem with simply cutting the top off is the total loss of structural rigidity. If you've ever compared factory convertible and non-convertible versions of the same model, the chassis is very beefed up on the convertible model to account for the loss of roof-provided rigidity.
