    Let's Talk Seats

    I think the leather is somewhat better than OE, but not that different.

    Let's Talk Seats

    I have TMI seats in my car, I can't speak to the cost because they used my spare Mach 1 seats as prototypes, but I can say they are really nice, definitely OEM quality. Mach1 or Cobra foams and upholstery will fit the GT frames, and I they even have a few "sport seat" styles that fit the stock...

    Rear Wing Install On 04 Gt Convertible

    You might want to see if there is anyone local to you that has a wing they'd trade from a wingless trunk lid. Lots of guys with wings want to go wingless.

    Slow Oil Leak From This Plug, What's It Called?

    I agree with flstang65, it is the oil filter housing gasket, the oil looks to be coming from above the sender.

    Convertible Top Leaking

    Agree, the bottom corners of the window are almost always the source of the leaks. If you feel around with your finger tips you can locate the problem spots. Some silicon sealant can help, but the only real fix is to replace the window.

    Noisy Interior?

    I'd like my 'vert to be quieter on the road...but my pretty unscientific testing* leads me to believe most of the road noise, at least in a convertible, is coming from under/behind the rear seat, not so much the trunk area. Heck, behind the rear seat there is nothing between the interior and the...

    2003 Convertable Leak?

    Rhino Glue is something a lot of people recommend to glue the fabric back to the glass. (check youtube and the interwebz for "rhino glue convertible tops")

    2003 Convertable Leak?

    the bottom corners of the back glass are common points of failure. Sometimes some silicone sealer will help, but I think the only 100% fix is to replace the top and glass.

    Steering Gremlins After Replacing Entire Front End-?????

    The alignment might be "in spec", but these cars are much happier with just about as much caster as you can give them, especially if they have fatter tires. The fact that it is most noticeable when brake or accelerate also hints as a caster issue. (Also adjusting toe in by eyeball especially...

    Drivetrain Clutch Help

    It depends on what exactly is causing the noise, if it is an iffy TO bearing it probably won't hurt. But there is no real way to tell over the interwebz. I wouldn't recommend any sort of spray lubricant like that anywhere near the clutch.

    Drivetrain Clutch Help

    The cable might just be a little loose, there should be a little bit of pre-load on the bearing. But if it is juts a generic replacement TO bearing it is probably going to be noisy and you'll have to live with it :-/

    Drivetrain Clutch Help

    What brand of throw-out bearing did you use? They ALL seem to make noise except the Ford ones. Also do you have a stock or aftermarket clutch cable adjuster, if the cable isn't adjusted correctly it can make a noise like that too.

    Noisy Lifters Or Bad Timing Chain Guides?

    Synthetic oils may make the noise worse not better, a 10w-30 or 40 dino oil (depending on your climate) might help with the ticking/clicking noise.

    Engine Knocking From Timing Cover

    It sound like the time chain guides, it is a pretty common issue with the 4.6, heck even Amazon sells the kit for it :) View: http://www.amazon.com/97-10-WINDSOR-Timing-Chain-IF-90387SG/dp/B00TULCGBQ EDIT: not saying you should get a kit from Amazon, or even this is the right one for your car...
