Thanks for watching. This issue caught be by surprise. I guess most do. 🤣maybe it’s a T-top/Vert only issue. I’m not sure but my opinion is something changed around ‘87/‘88 and the size increased. 🤷🏼‍♂️

⁠ I bought some for my 93 lx… I will definitely check this out….i want to eliminate the rubber grommets altogether ( plug up) since it’s manual locks and only wire going through is the speaker wire…. Is there away to hook up blue tooth speakers? I am no audio guy so don’t even know the is possible

Wow that's really frustrating but also a somewhat fascinating read through some of the comments about being possibly vert/t-top related. At least you got it done though! Not sure if it will help, I have mine out right now and can measure them but its a hard top.

@@SleazysGarage The more data the better. Let me know the diameter of the hole going into the car. Much appreciated. I called LMR to relay the info but not sure if it will make it to the R&D folks.

verts might have there own grommet?

87 88 is the only years for the 3 eyed T top cars, an they used convertable doors if that helps, if your car isnt a 87 or 88 someone installed the t tops them selfs, they is only like 800 3 eyed t top cars, i got a 87

You might be on to something. It’s an original ‘87 T-top. I don’t know if verts were different as far as the harness holes/grommets go but the new grommets definitely didn’t specify it. They were just listed as ‘79-‘93 mustang. 🤷‍♂️

@@thefoxlife3431 sometimes auto company will have parts remaining from a previous generation when switching to a newer model an they will use up whats left until its all gone to keep from wasting, an where 87 was a year of change then i bet alot of 79-86 stuff could be found in a 87, but i know for sure that ford used doors from convertables on the t top cars, i think because they dont have window frames, i had a 93 cobra with 60k miles on it, all factory nothing done, n my daily broke down on me one day so i drove my cobra to work that day n a coal truck hit me n killed the body, so i hunted a roller n found a entire car n at the time i didnt know they made 3 eyed cars with t tops, n it was a auto n my cobra was a stick, so i got it an swap all my cobra parts on to my t top fox, so now i got a t top cobra fox, BTW i love your car! an what youv done with it
