Naturally, when you remove a large sheet of metal like the center of the roof you will loose some structural integrity. In this case I feel that the loss is very small, like, you won't notice it. The ragtop is still surrounded by several inches of roof. Only if you were to make the car into a true convertible would you have major structural losses that would require additional reinforcement. As for it not working, well, I've had mine for two years now with no problems. Pictures are on my web site.
