cut it off yourself. Then make a roll cage and customize a ragtop.
I had one of my friends do this to a Corolla XRS. He did a great job. He had a softop and a hardtop for it. I believe it ran him for about $2K in tools/parts/design he did all the labor himself.
The first shop to chop the top is going to receive alot of exposure. Someone out there get the top cut off.

This is supposedly in the works by a guy in Yuba City, Ca.
TLC sent me an email response to my inquiry to match one of the convertible sketches as a one-off custom -- would be in excess of six figures.

Looked at the speculative thumbnail of an FJ Cruiser de-topped,..... reminds me of the old Pacer! Amazingly butt-ugly!

it would look so much better if a cage was in these renders. who is the master photochopper?
Looks like a VW Thing on roids.
Here's an earlier concept:
I'm dying to do it.. Who'se gonna drop their FJ off to me?? Hell, I cant even get 80 owners to chop their rockers
