Joe G Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 For those with a vert, did your car come with the boot that covers the top when it's down? I have a 2007, and in the owners manual it says "if equipped", but I don't know if they were SUPPOSED to come with them, or if it's an option. It's not noted on my window sticker, and I didn't see one in the car. Hopefully this isn't a stupid question. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500FLYBOY Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 It came with - and should have been in your trunk. Sounds like someone lifted it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moabman Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 It's an option - I got one and it's foam backed vinyl and has plastic hooks that hook under the lip of the convertible well. I like it although I think it was a approx- $200 option. You can probably pick one up as an accessory. Edit: one a Mustang GT it is an option - don't know about the GT500s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: one a Mustang GT it is an option - don't know about the GT500s It's an option for standard Mustang vinyl tops. The cover is also vinyl. The cloth top option on a Mustang (standard on GT500) includes a spandex fabric cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLB8SNK Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Joe, my 2008 came with one, in the truck, folded in a bag. I have not used it yet. However, I think I was told by the dealer that the early 2007, and most of the production year, the verts did NOT have a cover, but that all shipped in 2008 did. It was not an option on the 2008, not even listed, just came with as part of the vert top. Hope that helps, but being a fellow Italian, you know how to make a point in a dealership right? Go get yours!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrabberO Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Boot should have been in the trunk, not an option, standard equipment. I also have a 07 standard vert that my daughter drives and it too came with the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Joe, it was in your car wrapped w/ plastic when you picked it up. In the trunk? That was the car cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I thought it was wrapped and we picked it up, not sure where it was. Maybe Alloy Dave stole it? What does the dealer say? My sales guy was on vacation today. I trust he'll get me a new one, now that I know I'm supposed to have one. Dave?? I didn't let him near the car! Can't trust those Raider fans!

SkyPilot Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Mine came with the boot. Not as an extra. When I ordered my 2007 GT500 vert my salesman suggested I order the boot because they were nice and not that much extra.... Then he said he couldn't find it on the option list. He checked it out and found they were standard on the GT500 and optional on some other Mustangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasShelby Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 All '07 verts came from the factory with a boot cover to protect the top when down, it's standard. Anyone telling you different either didn't get theirs or is misinformed. And if you get it, it's just about as important that you actually read the directions, or you may never get it on, or get it on correctly. I'm looking at the new Cervini Speedster cover that cover up to the rear of the front seats...that will stop most of any wind while driving. Now I just wish someone made a decent wind block for the seats that looks decent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 **** UPDATE **** Ok, just got off the phone with my dealer. Salesman asked his inventory guy about it. Inventory guy said that, no, it's not a standard/included item. It's not listed on the window sticker, it's not in any of the literature, so it wasn't supposed to be included. Said it's an optional ($$) accessory item. Can anyone here provide me some backup info/details on how to inform them about how to find the correct info on this? I PM'd ShelbyDude, but any other of our DEALER friends can jump in to. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
