#15 of 51 Broken frame conv top by specialist2200 May 23, 2007 (9:07 am)
I have a 2005 ford convertible in the first year the top had torn and the seams were coming unglued. I now have an issue with the frame of the convertible being broken and the dealer (Miller Ford in NJ) telling me it is out of warranty. needless to say $5000.00 to get it replaced. Anyone else have comments or ideas on this? anything would be appreciated. Replies to this message: 2fast4u2 (Jul 19, 2007 10:09 am)

If you are out of warranty, you are out of luck...not withstanding same, check with a convertible top repair person. I know there is one in Moorestown NJ off of the Marne Hwy, just don't remember the name. He is in the yellow pages.   Mark

I am looking at buying this car. Which model do you recommend and are there any disadvantages to this year? Should I wait for 2008? Thanks!! Replies to this message: ltomlinson (Aug 29, 2009 7:14 pm)
#18 of 51 Cloth top is worth the xtra $ by mschmal Jun 17, 2007 (7:20 am)
The cloth top beats the vinyl in appearance, also it better hold up to the folding of opening and closing. Plus its a little more flexible and can better handle the shrinkage that starts at 40 degree weather and gets worse as it gets colder   As for 2007, some improvements were made to the top to prevent the structure from causing wear in the material so its the best year yet. Also there are only 2 changes offered for 2008 HID head lamps as an option and "ambiant lighting" offered as an option.   2008 also has 2 new colors, Dark Candy Apple Red in lieu of Redfire and Highland Green.   mark.

Replying to: specialist2200 (May 23, 2007 9:07 am) I also have a 2005 convertible with a broken frame. am having it repaired as I type. Hope it will not cost me $5000.00. The dealer said that it is a warrant item. How did yours turn out?
#21 of 51 Replacing Convertible Top by redstangman Jul 26, 2007 (6:37 am)
Does anyone know how tough it is to replace a top yourself? I have a 97 and the vinyl is starting to crack pretty bad along the fold lines. A local shop wants $700 to replace it. Where can I find a step-by-step on the procedure? Replies to this message: akirby (Jul 27, 2007 4:56 am) aryzhov (Jul 21, 2008 1:22 pm) redstangman (Jul 24, 2008 1:56 pm)
#22 of 51 Broken hydralic lines by fury99 Jul 26, 2007 (11:19 pm)
I own a 1986 mustang lx, the hydraulic lines are old and brittle leaking, Does any body know of a free online or have a schematic for this system ? also where is the pump and reservoir located? I live in Hawaii and its a crime not being able to put the top down! Thanks

Replying to: redstangman (Jul 26, 2007 6:37 am) The problem with doing it yourself is there is a significant amount of skill involved in getting it stretched to fit just right. I'd shop around for a few more quotes but leave it to the pros.
#24 of 51 Boot for 1995 Mustang convertible by ponyluv Aug 10, 2007 (6:10 pm)
I just bought a 1995 convertible and was curious if this car came with a boot for the top originally? If so anyone know where one can be purchased? I looked on Ebay didn't see any. Replies to this message: hallmarkc (Nov 27, 2007 3:33 pm)
