I'm not positive, but I think that a coupe doesn't have window frames 
built into the doors, nor a roof support pillar behind the doors; thus,
when the top is removed (via a convertible, or removable hardtop) and
the windows are rolled down, there is nothing above the lines of the
bottoms of the window..
