Roadsters are two seaters, convertibles 4 place. But then, what do you call
an SL with the kinder seat option?

My 107 and current 129 has a tonneau cover, made by California Car Cover.

I always thought that it was the presence of the bolt-on coupe
hardtop that made it 'convertible': from coupe to roadster and
back.  The point was stretched long ago to include the folding
soft top as well.  The true roadsters I always thought were
equipped, at best, with a tonneau cover.  Flying goggles, trench
coats, and long scarves too.  But I'm willing to be wrong!
