New 2026 Mustang GT Convertible (Orange Fury) owner

Huh. My 2024 non-convertible doesn't have the cubby.

Doesn’t it have a sunglass cubby near rearview mirror?

Beautiful car. I've always wanted a convertible, just not sure how much I'd use it.

I've only owned one ragtop in my life, and it only took one to convince me I'd never own another. Apparently you like them, and I'm sure they're better than they used to be. Good luck on your purchase.

I had an 08 GT vert and loved it. Never had any issue's with the top.

Finally had some time for pictures of the gal.

Love the color.

Fastbacks don’t have it. But they are compatible with it.

That color looks a lot better than I was expecting! Thought the orange would be too mush, but the black convertible top and all the black trim balance it out nicely. No wonder Shelby chose thet color to showcase their new GT350 convertibles.

Shame Ford nerfed so many features (and added the auto start-stop) after the early '24 models. You would think that anyone buying these for about $60K fully loaded would be fine with paying a couple extra hundred bucks for some of those features.

Similar to what the others have said, I've never had any vandalism on my convertibles, but since I've had them I've lived in low-crime areas of town.

And yep, that antenna was one of the first things to go on mine (replaced by a stubby) right after tint, PPF, and a blendmount and hard wire for the radar detector.
Beautiful car!

Original Post:

Traded in my 2018 Kona Blue for a 2026 Orange Fury Mustang GT MT82, 401A, Active exhaust, Nite Pony Package, Space Gray interior with orange seat belts. Coming from S550 to S650, I’m a little disappointed with Ford. Removal of light up sill, homelink, sunglass cubby, spoiler removal on non PP and losing 1 cubic feet in trunk space on convertible. Makes me feel like a slight downgrade instead of an upgrade. I didn’t buy a 2025 because of bland exterior color choices. Luckily I can order the visor with homelink, sunglasses cubby and door sills and it’s easily replaceable. On the plus side I love the active exhaust and after a few upgrades hopefully I won’t miss my S550. So far in 3 days I replaced the door sills (FORScan still doesn’t work for my 2026 to active it), switch out the ugly antenna, and 3D printed a charging mat.

Very sharp ride! The color looks really good on that Mustang!

What a Beautiful color.
Great looking GT Mustang!

That price would keep me from adding it, if it was not there. I had this on my 2018 and now my 2024. I don't know if this makes me some kind of weirdo, but I have never used it to store anything.

I had the sunglass drawer in my 24 and never used it. Put my sunglasses (Rayban Avaitor) in their case and used the door panel pocket. Doing the same with my 26.

The question should be why would you put the top up? Even in Illinois, your temps are above 50 a lot more days than below? And Alexa will raise the temp every time you ask. Glenn

That is gorgeous. MT82 is such a gem too, 10/10 spec.
I got a homelink visor from the Parts Farm, didn't check yet if my DH has the connector for the sill illumination. Glad to see I'm not the only one not only ranting about the cost cutting nonsense but fixing it for my small part.
