I have one passenger side cap, plus a pair of standard panels. The cap is in good condition but will need paint. The panels are good for a pattern or could be redyed. They are white - the vinyl is in good shape, but they have faded a LOT.

I am not a fan of covers outside. Waterproof ones keep moisture in as well as keep moisture out, and it seems like there is more moisture to be pulled from under the car as there is from rain falling on the car, unless the car is parked on pavement. Another problem is wind. Seems to me, wind...

How are your wheel bearings?

AMK has bolt kits for most everything on a Mustang.

How detailed you go depends on your skill level, available modeling tools, budget, eyesight, and ability to deal with frustration. There are a lot of aftermarket detail options out there - from hose kits, clamps, engines, decals, wiring harness kits, suspensions, wheels, interior dressups...

Your car could have been a special order. Do you have a Marti report?

You do want to take the regulator out. There is a clock spring on the regulator arm that helps the motor lift the window. This spring is held under tension by the drive gear with the motor installed. It's mighty dangerous to remove the motor without a firm grip on the regulator arm, and...

I get a kick out of all of these magazine and web articles with a blurry picture of a random car with text that says "the new blah-de-blah could look like this". That's clickbait.

It just slays me that companies go to all the trouble to remanufacture parts and then do it so wrong. It's not like they even picked a specific version of a part, they just do it wrong. What's the point?

Another thing to check is brake fluid level.

A little more history on the car would be helpful - have you always owned it? What bodywork was done during the repaint? How are the floors - including the trunk? Given the age of the material on the top, I think the top is not your problem here. The fabric on our vintage convertible tops...

Convertibles like to fold up in the middle, which would explain why the top overhangs the windshield frame. What could be done to solve the problem is going to depend on where the problem is. Could be weld fails in the unibody by the rear of the door frame, could be problems with the cowl at...

Re: door lock. So lean across the console and pull the lock button up? Or pull the interior door handle? There is NO reason that door shouldn't open. Heck I unlocked mine with a coat hanger several times.

If the housing and mount are good you can have a new mirror cut for it.

There is this: https://fordsunlimited.com/ford-convertible-top-repair-adjustment-manual/

It's held in by a bolt and a tab on the end that slips into a hole in the door. All variations of the deluxe door mechanism will work, but you would want to look for ones with tabs so they will mount the same.

These don't just go out of adjustment on their own - especially by that much. If the top frame hasn't been off the car, that means something on the car has moved. Get the car on a lift and start taking measurements of the frame and unibody.

I do not - sorry for the late reply.

How did your top wind up in this position? Did you have it off the car? From the condition of the pads, it doesn't appear to have been recovered recently. How well are your doors closing? Are the door gaps even from top to bottom?
