Because rednecks git tired of them leaking water onto the Corinthian leather upholstery.

Replaced by the much more practical and effective sliding sun roof.

The straight roof cars were OK, mostly.

The curved roof cars all leaked.

When they stopped allowing the 'yeah brahs' to cruise the Lakefront in New Orleans, it killed the market for em.

I would imagine because of crash safety ratings. I wonder what the last car to have a t-top was?

When I was 20 I had a 280 zx with t-tops, like this one. Wish I wouldn't have sold it. Never leaked.
