I love love LOVE my convertible. Even if you can only put the top down 3 or 4 months a year it is totally worth it. I just drove mine top down today in mid-90s weather and still loved it.
Well I guess I would say just roll the dice and hope they don't sell it by the time you are able to get out there to look at it. It's too bad it's summer now because I know around here anyway these seem to be going a lot quicker now than they did a few months ago. Good luck. You can always...
I just tap the lock button on the door handle because I don't like digging the fob out of my pocket. You should hear the click and then see the little red light on the inside of the door blink to let you know it is in fact locked. Pay attention to that because I've had a few times where it...
I just came back from a work trip with a miserable set of flight delays and re-routes that kept me on planes and airports for 15+ hours. The one thing that made me happy was walking up to my Mustang in the long-term parking lot and getting that happy greeting from the head and tail lights, and...
Go here to see some options. I love the look on mine (last post) but I've had the car 3+ months and haven't used the radio once so I still can't comment on the reception.

This turned out really good. Looks terrific. Can't wait to see what one of these looks like on a convertible. If they get the holes lined up I may be interested.
I had some dude in a Camaro come up beside me at highway speed trying to get me to go. I really have no interest in these games so I didn't even react. Of course then he floors it as to "prove something" I suppose. I didn't buy this car to race anyone and I don't need the tickets or a wreck...
Yeah I was leaning that way. The dealer will most likely screw it up further. Makes me so mad because the tech knew he did it and all he did was wipe the crap out of it with a shop towel and instead of removing it he just mashed it down into the paint that much further. Who knows what he had...
Definitely feels like something that's going to be a PITA to get off. My son, who details cars on the side, said a two step polish will get it off.
Another incredibly stupid question. Do I take it in and tell the dealer to make it right or am I just asking for more problems by doing that?
Well step 1 in my process produced zero results. I washed the car and really scrubbed the spot with soapy water repeatedly in the hopes if would gradually get clean. Didn't come off at all. I guess I will try the Dawn approach next. Some photos.
You can see how it stands out in certain angles...
I think I'll try this first before progressing to the harsher stuff.
Stupid question here, but just mix up some dawn and warm water? Wash spot, rinse off, repeat?
I assume I then need to put some wax on the area?
Interesting. I washed it pretty good last time since I noticed it. I'll pay special attention to it this week. I'm planning to hand wash it today or tomorrow..
I took my convertible in to replace the right-rear trim piece that wraps around the seat belt. It was bowed outward and catching on the roof fabric when it was going from down to up. That seems to be ok now, but the tech got what I think is grease on the paint on the top part of the left rear...
I think it sounds good but not super high end. I notice the satelite radio seems to sound better than Pandora on mine so I guess the source does make a pretty big difference. But generally I'm happy with it.
Even if they left everything else as-is, a power reclining back would be my one wish. And if it takes me a little longer to access the rear seats I can live with that. A car at this level and cost should not have a manual seat back.
