Indeed, a soft top would make that alot easier. Dents in the roof are a pain to get right. I just know that my convertible has underbody and pillar reinforcements in case I roll or flex and it wouldn't pass inspection otherwise, I was just curious to see if cutting a large section out of the roof would compromise the structural integrity, although with a bug it's so compact I doubt it matters and if it came stock it must be a-okay!
