Hey t-top stang owners. I've got a 1988 mustang gt that has t-tops. I'm really new to the t-top world. I need a drivers side door that has sail mirrors (my door is un-repairable). Do know if a can replace my door with a convertible door if not, Why? also where would someone find this door online. I know shipping is going to kill me, but I'm desperate. I need a door bad... haha

any help on this door would be appreciated (yes i know you get this question all the time)

thanks

i think you can use it, i'm not really sure about it though. and the mirrors are usually different than a t top door mirror.

You can use a vert door, but I believe you have to change the glass. If you really need one know check out www.stangparts.com but be prepaired to bend over they are expensive.

You can use the vert doors with the sail mirrors,, and swapp out the windows and stops. I used 87 vert doors on my 86 and swapped out the mentioned parts and it works fine.

Just unplug the harness inside the kick panels and take them off with the doors. The swapp then over to the new doors, while they are off the car. Install doors and plug harnesses back in..

FWIW, my wife's r/h door on her 87 GT t-top got replaced with a vert. door and I didn't have to swap glass or anything of the sort, same style mirror as well.

What type mirror was on the car?? Wonder if the sail mirror or 87-88 t-top cars will work without swapping glass????? I tried trhe 87 vert doors on my 86 before swapping all the internals and the glass was about 1/2 to 3/4 inch short of the seal...

It has the standard 87-93 hatchback style mirror as was used on just a few years of the 87/ conv. doors as well.
