#5 of 51 Re: Roof locks not engaged [jimbo85] by cccompson Sep 23, 2006 (11:30 am)
Replying to: jimbo85 (Sep 23, 2006 7:29 am) 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.
#6 of 51 Roof won't open by timberland Dec 02, 2006 (11:40 am)
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. Replies to this message: partsman (Nov 23, 2009 7:19 am)
#7 of 51 Mustang Convertible Maintenance by hansenjg Feb 28, 2007 (7:02 am)
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?
#8 of 51 The top system by mschmal Feb 28, 2007 (7:35 am)
Yes, get to the dealer. The top system is hydraulic. Check the trunk for a pool of fluid.   Mark. Replies to this message: hansenjg (Feb 28, 2007 10:24 am)

Replying to: mschmal (Feb 28, 2007 7:35 am) 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.
#10 of 51 I don't know where or how it works by mschmal Mar 02, 2007 (4:56 am)
I just recall seeing a trunk full of hydro fluid on a car.   Mark.
#11 of 51 2005 mustang convertable -window catches top by awesome_woman Mar 21, 2007 (6:15 am)
The window on my car drops about 1/8th of an inch to clear the convertable top. even though it does this, it catches the corner of the fabric. After a year of operations, it finally tore the corner of the material off. Am I the only one with this issue? I know it should still fall under factory warranty, but the dealership, OC WELCH in southern SC is trying not to replace it. What should I do?

Replying to: awesome_woman (Mar 21, 2007 6:15 am) Raise heck with them and/or find a new dealer. The window is adjustable and this is absolutely a warranty issue.
#13 of 51 torn top by awesome_woman Mar 11, 2007 (6:45 pm)
I have a 2005 conv. mustang. My doors, even though they "drop" a little to clear the roof, still catch the canvas. It actually wore down the corner of the passenger side and tore the top. When the air is on 'floor' it goes to defroster very strong. The dealer said it was normal, but now seeing how many people have this issue, I am thinking differently. The CD (shaker) does skip on some CDs I find it to be the ones that are burned. my driver side door handle doesn't go back all the way after I let it go. I have def. learned NOT to buy the first year of a new model. I hate to wait, but lesson learned. BTW A wise man learns from others mistakes.
