honestly glad i wasn't the only one thinking that

[@justacinnamonbun8658]

This was a fucking wonderful idea. Toyota would probably sell more Corolla convertibles if they had it as a model option. But grumpy old Nihonjin that sit on Toyota Motor's board can't have that.... Ohhhh nooooo. A cheap, fun car from Toyota??? They'd prefer hara kiri first.

[@zleipnirgoh5972]

Ya, the top hood acts like a reinforced strut for the car to resist twists and bends.

[@SebastianMocny]

I think a proper roll cage and reinforcing the frame rails with some solid steel might just provide sufficient structure. However, it's much easier to just buy a miata.

[@CautiousCrow]

I already own a convertible, can I use this tip to make it even more convertible-able?

[@NotRealNamesAgain]

It's impossible to ruin a corolla. It has no inherent value when it's "fine".

[@speedkar99]

+Ben Landvatter Honestly it looks better without The top.

[@CamanSL]

Think of the car as a shoebox. When the top is on, its hard to twist or bend. Take the top off and it can easily twist. Take of the sides (such as when the doors are open) and the box collapses. Before anyone tries this watch other videos on cutting roofs and chop tops. You will want to reinforce the cars body by welding in temporary bar stock to prevent the body from twisting and buckling even a minor amount could jam your doors or trunk. After the top is cut off you will need to reinforce the body with bar stock. Reinforce front to back under the car and from driver side to passenger side behind the front seats and behind the rear seats (you may be able to do this in the trunk. Consider making this a 2 seater.

[@speedkar99]

But body flex is part of the fun
