Stars, it's not the t-tops that would be framed, it would be the doors. An unframed door doesn't have any framework above the window, so when you open the door there's just the glass window up top.
That probably doesn't make much sense, but I don't have any pics right now to show ya, sorry

My Mustang doesn't have framed doors and it does not leak. I haven't heard of C5's leaking. Many other cars have frameless windows and don't leak.
Besides, sports cars don't have framed doors.

They should be traditional. I believe if you treat your car properly by not running into 18-inch deep pot holes and not jumping train tracks and not taking hairpin curves at 40mph, then you'll never have any major leaks or wind noise problems, aside from rare factory defects. There are still plenty of mushy-frame old t-top thirdgens out there that have never had a single leak, and I think everyone will agree those were some darn flexible cars. Rattles are a different story. Even the t's on my 82 T/A squeak sometimes in certain situations, like turning into an oddly banked driveway, etc. and that car only has 3000 original miles, so as far as I'm concerned, I can live with minor noises like that.
