Try this little experiment: With the top down, get up to cruising speed (55-65 mph). Stick your hand up into the airstream, palm toward your direction of travel. Multiply that force by 100 (the area of the roof is about 100 times the area of your hand, give or take) and that will give you an idea of the forces involved.
