open-top

Lacking a roof

Open-top describes vehicles or containers without a roof or lid.

An open-top bus lets tourists see the city unobstructed; an open-top car is a convertible.

Open-top dumpsters and freight cars are loaded from above.

The term emphasizes design rather than temporary state—a car with its top down is open-top, but a jar with its lid removed is just open.
