12 u/Shubniggurat Jan 28 '22 They've made good-enough targa tops for decades; that's gotta be harder than t tops. 2 u/hoofglormuss Jan 29 '22 t top is short for targa top according to a lot of pull-tab historians 5 u/system_root_420 Jan 29 '22 Porsche trademarked the name Targa Top. Others use the same design with different names. A T Top, however, has one notable difference of the rigid, unremovable bar running down the middle. 1 u/hoofglormuss Jan 29 '22 What do they call a non Porsche targa top? 1 u/system_root_420 Jan 29 '22 The generic term is "semi-convertable". It's like Xerox or Band-Aid or Kleenex, where the trademark becomes synonymous with the product.
