Roll Bar in a Convertible Question

I don't think you're missing anything necessarily, Sean. IIRC, used to be E.T. convertibles 11.00 to 13.99 needed rollbars. 10.99 and quicker needed cage, just like hardtops, with some exceptions for hardtops with unaltered firewall/ floorpans. Now it's 11.49 for rollbars in E.T. instead of the old 11.99/ quicker. I can't think of another example where they've back-tracked on a safety requirement.

As far as requiring rollbars down to M/S it probably goes hand in hand with the jacket/pants thing.

Personally, I don't think I'd want to race a convertible without a rollCAGE. JMHO
