If you look at the design of the C4 convertible, there's no way that will work. Did you forget about the location of the gas tank?

Do like a bike build up. Remove the tank, create trunk and have a 2 gallon tank.

Or, add saddlebags on the sides of the rear quarters.

I remember a post here some time ago where some dude comes up and asks a C4 owner, "Is that your trunk man?" He was referring to the flipped open gas door.

Isn't there a coupe conversion that makes it look like a convertible with a trunk?

The closest thing I have seen is the OEM luggage which fits on top of the OEM luggage rack. No idea where to find the luggage

I have the luggage rack...and am have been desperate enough at times to strap things to it beverly hillbilly style.
