I use the Audi one. Takes a little to install initially but after that it’s a 1 minute job.

I LOVE it. No rattles. Folds easily and stores easily in the trunk. I have had it for 3 years now and it’s held up well. They’re likely harder to get, but the shape and design is perfect and it looks like came with the car.

Really can’t beat any of them though to take the wind on the highways or take the chill off cool / cold nights!
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.

I think I'm going to wait until we are closer to the Spring months to grab one. I feel like it would be pointless to get one right now due to the fact that it's snowing outside and I get chilly under 65 for the top down as is right now. Additionally, at 25F outside. Lol.

I'm glad that it's sturdy enough. Would rather buy one second hand, I seriously think the price tag is steep. But I guess the fact that you can return it if you don't like it is nice.

In regards to the "Love the Drive" one. Give some serious thought to whether you will wand a light bar in the future. The light bar one will work without a light bar, but the normal one will not work with a light bar.

New to this thread and I have a different vert of course but my BMW came with one. I can’t believe they don’t give you one with the Mustang for the price.

I can't believe Ford doesn't make one. Seems like they are leaving money on the table.

There was a Ford one available in Europe, although it no longer appears on the UK website. Why they didn’t sell them in North America is beyond me.

Because in the land of lawyers and NTSB, I'm sure sure someone determined them to be a liability. Most likely an egress issue.

Notwithstanding the running gag in How I Met Your Mother, I’ve never heard a fellow Canadian pronounce about “aboot”.

Less expensive but barely. I decided to wait until the Spring March/April and order the Love the Drive one. May as well cry once. Right?
Well it’s 74 here today…never really cold enough to need that accessory for me. But I concur with minimizing crying as much as possible 😎. I’m trying to decide if I want to install a styling bar….decisions decisions.

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 had one for my 2006 and it made a real difference in cabin comfort. I'll likely bite the bullet and get the S550 version this year.

I’ll be the last guy to tell you that the LoveToDrive isn’t way more expensive then it should be, but we pay $40-60k for these cars in order to have access to the top down experience. The wind screen does work and extend our ability to enjoy top down driving so not sure it’s worth getting to hung up on the cost of the thing compared to it’s benefits.
