There are only 515 Ecoboost convertibles in Royal Crimson according to a Marti report I saw posted. I imagine that the GT convertible numbers are similar, so yes, one in that colour would give you rarity for sure.
Weāve been having fabulous weather here in Toronto the past week or so. I got a late January top down drive in, and have done several this month including a long drive NW of the city today with my wife. We topped out at 15.2Ā°C today, severely breaking the 1938 record of 10.6Ā°C. This also means...
T-tops were, in the main, the manufacturers giving you an open air experience in the face of legislation that would have made convertibles impossible. That threat evaporated and convertibles returned, killing T-tops. Since they can charge much more for a convertible, with a larger profit, they...
As much as I like the full on convertible experience, long high speed trips can be wearing, especially with cross winds. Having the ability to have virtually zero buffeting is nice, regardless of ambient temp.
I looked at this option but they are extremely thin on the ground in Canada and I could only find them shipping from the US, which meant extremely rude shipping costs, imports duties and not a very friendly exchange rate.
Iāve driven regularly as low as 2Ā°C quite comfortably with the windows up as well. MA-1 flight jacket and scarf, gloves and baseball hat. Heat and seats as required. Sometimes solo, sometimes with my wife, who enjoys the experience as well. My current streak is 22 months with at least one top...
Me too. It has been suggested to me to get a weatherproof exterior rear camera but basically what Iāve seen is for the rear of a straight truck, i.e., ugly. Plus I donāt really want to drill holes in the back of the car for the mount and/or wire. Iāve been trying to think of a way to make a...
Yes, mine always groaned a bit in the hinge points from new. I finally got tired of it and sprayed everything with a penetrating grease that I have. Got rid of the groans for the most part and I no longer have to pull the top down that last half inch or so, it comes right down to the header now.
I tried more than several times without success. In some cases it would would work for a few days and then go intermittent. I was carrying the original door remote in the car anyway, in case Homelink didnāt work, so gave up and went back to using it, which, of course , works every time, and from...
Is this a locational thing? I have had zero buildup on my car (nor our 2015 Rogue in which I just replaced the OEM battery) here in Toronto. Mustang is garaged, Rogue sits out.
I use Woolite Dark solution in a pump up sprayer and a horsehair brush. I certainly donāt wash the top every time the car is washed. 303 Fabric Guard spring and fall, two coats 12-24 hours apart.
Iāve driven down to 2Ā°C, so yeah, it definitely extends the driving season. 2021 drove top down every month. 2022 missed January and February. This year, fingers crossed, itāll be another full year.
Love my convertible. Cut my teeth on a ā75 MG Midget in 1989 and much later an ā80 Triumph TR8. There is no comparison comfort wise. Regret getting an auto, as my wife has barely driven the car in over 5 years. Occasionally, although not often, pine for V8.
It is the tension strap for the convertible top, one on each side. Easier to snap back into place if the top is lowered a few inches. There are tabs which snap into oblong holes in the deck which break. The tension will keep them in place with the top up but when you lower it they fall out...
I have a parts mule that brings me things I ship to Florida. Not good for immediate needs, or anything large, but I havenāt had any of those yet. This past spring had Gorilla lug nuts brought up, they cost me about 2/3 of shipping them here. Not much you can do, other than ask for things to be...
