For some reason the convertible is allowed a pass. The way it was explained to me the only way they would be able to do T-tops is if they could integrate side airbags into the removable part of the top. Practically impossible. It would cost a fortune in engineering to figure it out even if it's possible and then the extra cost for the parts would probably make the option cost more than a convertible. It's a lot easier to just throw in a sunroof and call it a day.
