The roof, rear pillars and back glass frame are all structural and contribute to the stiffness of the vehicle without adding as much weight as the bracing that would be required to replace them. Even the two ridges in the roof are structural and add stiffness.

Don't disagree with any of this, as I said not confirmed.
At any rate, I doubt we will see any type of open air version of this with the current model. If it happens at all I don't think it would happen until MK2 at this point.
