Removable Roof Panel

Porsche Targa Convertible Roof
Example of a Porsche Targa with the roof panel removed.

Some cars have a removable roof panel(s) which attach, with latches, to the windscreen and roll-bar behind the passengers. First used on the Porsche 911 Targa, and therefore sometimes called a 'Targa Top' (although this is a registered trademark of Porsche).

These panels are often fibreglass and may have a vinyl coating, although they can be metal, glass or acrylic.

Usually there is a special shelf in the boot where the roof can be stored.
