convertible care

Jan 13, 2011 3 Replies

Got a new Mustang convertible. This is my first convertible, so I don't know squat about caring for the top. Do I need to treat it with anything, perhaps a water proofer from a boat store, or anything? What general maintenance tips do you all have?



Thanks! Please replace the "NoSpam" with "verizonbusiness" in my email address in order to reply.

I'd sugest reading your owner's guide....

Convertible tops are way better than they used to be. I agree you should follow whatever Ford says to do, and the best thing you can do for a convertible top is keep the car in a garage when not using it. Depending on where you park it for work -- if you park it for work -- a car cover can extend the life of the top, trim and paint.

Look into 303 products, which get good props from many:

Used to was, you would have to go to the boat store or hit them on line, but it looks as if Walmart is in the game, now.

I have no experience with that stuff, as my salesman very kindly provided me with a bottle of Mr Ford's protectant, so the 303 I bought out of a fit of be-preparedness sits on the shelf. And the car has never been out all night or all day unprotected by California Pop Top or Carcraft cover.
