    Convertible Top

    I have heard Horror Stories from people that have tried to take the job of replacing the top themselves. My advice? Leave it to the Pros! :nice: One more reason is that you can't warranty your own work! :nonono:

    '00 GT Won't start

    That happened to me about 2 months after I bought my GT 'Vert. I was on the highway, then the power seat moved a little. The way the controls are located, I thought I had moved it with my legs, but I did not. Then a few minutes later the charging gauge went haywire, went off, then on again...

    Those that replaced convertible top

    I had the top of my '00 GT 'Vert replaced about a year after I bought it. It seems that the top was catching on something from the back 1/4 windows when it was being raised, and was tearing that area of the top apart. It was under warranty, so I did not have to pay for it, so i took it to a...

    Declined a 2005 GT road test

    My Father-In Law works at the local ford Dealership. (Service Dept) I can probably take an '05 out on a test drive for free! :nice: "Free" meaning without the hassle of being hounded by a salesman.

    Checked out 05 today.

    Mustangs are NOT sports cars? :bs: Please tell my insurance company that! It will probably save me a few hundred bucks a year on car insurance! :rolleyes:

    Checked out 05 today.

    I have never seen an '05 'Stang in person....yet. But I do like the cornfield ad "with" Steve McQueen. (Very nice editing, BTW!) Do the '05's come in a 'Vert? I don't think so, 'cause I have not heard much about the '05 'Verts. StangVert00

    No Oil Pressure Until Engine Warm (GT)

    Greetings, I own a '00 GT 'Vert. When the car is cold, and I start the engine, I get no oil pressure from the gauge until the engine reaches normal temp. (warms up) After about 2 mins, the oil pressure gauge will go from zero to mid range for a few seconds, then drop down to zero (far left...

    CARWASH QUESTION

    I have a '00 GT 'Vert. One time, many moons ago, I took my wife's Jeep to our neighborhood drive thru car wash. This was the Winter time and she never washes her car. Anywho, I take it to this drive thru and when it finishes, I get out to dry it off myself. (Gone are the days of a COMPLETE...

    Fog Lamp Switch Replacement?

    Greetings, I own a '00 GT 'Vert. The light on the fog lamp switch that indicates that they are on or off does not work. But the fog lamps do work. Can I replace just that tiny lamp on the switch, or do I need a whole new switch? :shrug: I am thinking a whole new switch. :nonono...
