Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / June 20052003 GT Convertible top
When I pu the top up on my '03 vert the top stops when the header gets to within about an inch or so from the header rail. I then have to pull it down to lock it in place. It's been that way since I picked up the car from the dealer 2 years ago. I never thought anything about it until my neighbors son bought a 2000 'vert. His top comes all the down to the header rail and he can lock it without having to pull it down. Which is correct? Thanks! His is. Yours may be a bit too tight. | When I pu the top up on my '03 vert the top stops when the header gets | to within about an inch or so from the header rail.

COLD, like when I drove the convts in the winter with the top down, windows up, and heat on high ? ;-) That Ford ad for the Mustang Convertible brought back memories ...... >Some of them shrink... >and if it's cold, it's even worse. >Kate >| As the top gets older, it stretches. Eventually too much ;-( <snip> Ya know WCD I forgot that the 03 has a cloth top My beat up ol piece of junk has the vinyl top. They shrink. Vinyl sucks. But cloth doesn't come in white. Oh, and you are not the ONLY one that runs topless in the wintertime with the heater on. WHOO HOO! Goosebumps all over more than anywhere else!

Does yours make a screaching sound once it's past half-way up? I now let go of the button and let it drop, which it does fairly slowly.

In the winter, I've actually had to get OUT and lean on it :) >>> When I pu the top up on my '03 vert the top stops when the header gets >>> to within about an inch or so from the header rail.

I have to pull mine a little, but not a LOT, unless it's cold. It closes down to almost touching. Richard is right I think, that IS what the handle is for. Kate | Same with mine.

I have an 04 GT Convertible and mine is like yours. It stops about an inch or so before the rails and muscles do the rest. Just make sure the windows are rolled down before you yank.
