I'm looking for a strut tower brace for my 2017 V6 convertible.
I'm getting feedback that there isn't one because it won't fit under the hood.
Does anybody know of a strut tower brace for my 2017 V6 convertible?

As an alternate, would a subframe connector or other K-frame type bolt-on give some rigidity to the drop top?

There isn't one that will fit (and function fully) without dropping the motor for clearance.

Some of the subframe braces don't fit for the V6 either, I think the Steeda 2 point brace fits and might help you some but are you really feeling it as an issue or just want to add it because?

Other convertible owners said they want stiffening on top or below due to convertible flexing.
I heard from them that it helped.
if there is a bolt-on and I could wrench it myself I'd do it.
I'm not interested in lowering or changing anything.

If it doesn't bother you, then don't do anything to your car. If you really want something, get the Steeda 2 point brace and throw that on the bottom but for the top there is nothing that fits properly without lowering the engine.

The Steeda 2-point lower brace works great on verts. I use one on mine. I have a GT.

I don't think you will have a clearance issue...but check with Steeda before purchase. Also, see if their strut brace will fit a 6 cyl.
