I am seriously looking into getting a 2008 Mustang GT convertible, and wanted to know what to expect with respect to ragtop durability, longevity, issues, etc. I have never owned a convertible before, and have some concerns. Can some kind person please respond?
- What's the life span of the ragtop? Assume the car spends half its life in an uncovered parking lot, getting beat up by the sun.
- What about leaks, creaks, wind noise, etc? Does it leak in the rain? Does the fit remain tight over the years?
- I have noticed other ragtops, not necessarily Mustangs, where the leading edge of the ragtop seems smushed up and back a bit, as if it has been slightly deformed over time. Is this something to expect?
- Longevity of the mechanical components? What kind of issues can I expect from the top if I hold onto the car for 8 years?
- Anything else I should know or consider?
Thanks!
