Ford Mustang Convertible Top Problems

If the top opened while driving then, by definition, the locks were not properly engaged.

I have one of these vehicles (and have had several other convertibles in the past). One must be VERY careful to lock the top down correctly as it's easy to think it's seated right when it is not.

Just bought 93 mustang lx convertible. My roof only opens about 6 inches and then stops. Is it a bad motor or something along those lines, any suggestions.

#7 of 90 Mustang Convertible Maintenance by hansenjg

I have a 2000 Mustang Convertible and my top comes up really slow all of the sudden. Is there a fluid that needs to be replaced or something to be maintained for the top?

Yes, get to the dealer. The top system is hydraulic. Check the trunk for a pool of fluid.

Great. Thanks. Is this something you can put fluid in yourself or do you need to go to a dealer to fill it up? If its just topping off a fluid it sounds like it might be easy.

I just recall seeing a trunk full of hydro fluid on a car.
