Is rear window gap issue still present in 2025 convertibles?

[greasylandings]

I am looking into buying a 2025 GT convertible. I have noticed in forums and also in rentals that the rear window does not fully close with the top up. I recognize there are workarounds involving silicone lubricants. However, I was wondering if owners of 2025 model can share whether the this issue is still present or if Ford has finally solved this. Thanks!

I had a 22 Mustang Ecoboost Premium convertible. Ordered and put almost 48k miles on it. No such issue.

Now have 25 GT Premium with almost 2k miles. No such issue.

Don't slam the doors. Close slowly. Tell service people how to close doors. 8000 miles on my 2024 GT convertible and no issue.

Still an issue with my 24 GT convertible. Same as with my 2017.

Hi,
We just bought a 2025 EcoBoost premium Mustang in January and only have had the top down a few times.
But I'm not sure what's the problem. So, could you please explain the problem with the convertible top and rear windows?
thanks
Bill

One or both rear windows won't completely close with the top up, leaving a gap between front and rear windows.

No such issue on my 2025 GT Convertible

It took a couple years for it to happen with my 2017.

I have a 24 GT Premium Vert and I've never had an issue with the rear windows not closing completely. My top is down and up almost every time I drive it and sometimes multiple times on the same outing. When I raise the roof, I always close the rear windows first. I don’t know if that helps or not. My logic is that between the front and rear window, I believe the rear could have an issue if the fronts were raised first. Silicone spray should definitely help. Just spray on a cloth, not directly on the window molding. Good luck! Glenn

Hmm, upon opening our top, windows automatically go down and upon closing top, if by chance windows are up, they will automatically go down. This processes is confirmed on page 274 on OM. Even in our previous 2006 mustang, windows would automatically go down upon opening and closing top.
