why have convertible cars fallen?

They are not practical. It’s looks cool when someone is driving one however the driver is backing from the sun heat.
I will say that I used to think they were cool until I got into motorcycles. At this point I have no desire for a convertible since I can have an experience where I’m actually out in the open instead of some fake in between state. And that means my cars can be cheaper and simpler.
Convertibles are not very practical. I owned a hard top convertible jeep for a long time, which is one of the least practical convertibles of all time. Converted it only a handful of times. Highway speeds were unfun (loud and wind whips too hard); if it’s too hot or too cold, air conditioning is far more comfortable; soft tops are not well insulated; the hardtop for the jeep is not convenient – the panels are big and need to be stored (even cars with automatic conversions have a lack of storage space); combined with the other factors, even a small chance of rain makes it too risky to convert; dust, sand, leaves – the interior gets dirty; conversion requires moving parts and therefore more things that can break. Basically, rolling down the windows combined with a sunroof provides 99% the benefits of a convertible without the downsides.
