The market For convertible roof systems is changing rapidly, driven by buyers' desires for all-weather drop-top vehicles. "In the near future," says Dr. Wolfgang Thurow, executive vice president of Webasto AG, "the worldwide market For convertible tops will grow from the approximately 600,000 units of today to 1.4 million units.
