How To Replace Fox Body Mustang T-Top Weatherstrip (1981-1988)

[@dodgecummin24v]

I been meaning to tackle this for a while. Probably be a spring project. Sucks not being able to drive in the rain!

[@bkborn74]

Thank you for your videos. I finally completed my t top weatherstrip replacement on my 85’. It was extremely time consuming, tedious, often very frustrating and tested my patience. The leaking is worst, LOL. I am not discouraging anyone, but if your Fox is not a daily driver, and the leak is not extreme(both applies to me)...l would leave it as is or pay a professional(it will probably be costly). This is an experience I won’t forget

[@Deeznuts84356]

Same here. Tried it myself. Waste of $400 + it leaked worse than the flattened out factory ones.

I do miss my 1985 Mustang GT 5-Speed with T-tops. Don't miss drive through car washes in it though :)

[@duanepirani4813]

331Grabber I still have mine. It’s a project car now. Used to keep towels in it for when it rained to cover the seats and my lap.

Question, doing this job as we speak. I don't see a mention of gluing down the main T Top weatherstripping. I would think we need to glue that down.

[@latemodelrestoration]

It is not 100% needed but you can use a weatherstrip adhesive in this area.

[@alyssaway94]

JMac this one of your best videos and very good cinematography and steps! I know you got it in you for some more!! Do a 86 GT T-Top car with no cruize and needs to upgrade too speed sensor and got new plug from LMR and sensor and doing a MAF conversion...

[@CombsTowerProductions]

Love the new intro, can you guys do an install of Flowmaster’s outlaw cat back for the 1979-1993 mustang?

[@latemodelrestoration]

Is there any videos showing how to remove the riveted part by the windshield on the roof. I drilled the rivets out to try and take bracket off for paint and it would come off so I was just going to re rivet it however when I was punching the drilled rivets out I put a dent on the left side . So now it will all have to come off in order for that dent to be fixed. Please help me and my brother have been working on that car for 2 years and we were going to paint it this week. And that dent ruined it. It’s a 85 gt. Thanks

[@OsKBWyse]

It Wouldn’t come off-*

[@latemodelrestoration]

Use a plastic scraper and gently separate the molding from the roof the car. It sounds like the old butyl sealer is still holding the molding in place. -Landan

[@singularity7968]

And I thought replacing a convertible top was a PITA... challenge accepted.

[@OldSkoolF]

VERY GOOD VIDEO!!!

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

I’ve heard of too many T-top roofs leaking, and my brother said they were not as safe in a collision.

[@garrettrocks9888]

Safer than a vert🤷‍♂️

[@notsure6182]

when you list "alcohol" as a required tool to do this work, will beer be enough or are we going to need hard liquor?

[@christiant.4005]

You guys don't sell the ttop to body trim front and rear....will these trim pieces ever be available? Thanx lmr.

[@latemodelrestoration]

Hi Christian, Thanks for asking. Bringing new products to the market like the T-Top trim pieces do take time. I have passed along your comment to our development team to look into it.

[@christiant.4005]

Thank you Landan for taking this into consideration....looking back to my question on the comment section ...the question sounds more like a demand and that was not the intention my bad.... if these get manufactured in the future then I'm gonna stand in line to make a purchade...literally.... I mean ...I was interested in buying blemish quarter Windows... I blinked for a few then those flew off the shelf..... Thank you Landan and team LMR.

[@Riffs_Garage]

Do you guys have anymore videos on this car? I have a 86 Capri with T-tops and would love to see more content on this car

[@latemodelrestoration]

Unfortunately we don't. But we may have more videos coming out soon with it!
