Slightly more potential for trouble either because
- they leak (the kind that sit on top of the door seal like a metal door frame),
- miss the slot in the door rubber that they are supposed to slide into when the window or door is closed,
- or foul the seal because the automatic drop when the door is opened or shut stops working (can often be cured by a reset, but owners without gumption don't realise what's happening and just complain the the door is sticking as they use brute force to get in and out, as a friend of mine did).
My MX-5 has them of course, being a convertible. So far, so good.
The 'pro' is obvious on a convertible or pillarless coupe. I can't really think of one otherwise.
