It's been done, and the look is unfortunate. You wind up driving something that looks like it has a helicopter landing pad on the trunk. The proportions are all wrong. If you want a convertible, get a convertible. If you have the money to do the conversion properly (custom top, both soft and hard, all the metal work, etc.) and you need to haul 4 people, buy two convertibles. Same price and much better looks.
