As if we needed more proof that demand for convertibles keeps slipping, Volkswagen is scaling down production of the only car it sells with a folding roof.

A mainstream successor to the Evoque Convertible, the T-Roc with a fabric roof is struggling. Reuters has learned from a VW spokesperson that the traditional summer holiday at the Osnabrück factory will be extended by a week. Looking ahead, there will be even more days when no vehicle rolls off the assembly line at the German site.
