cal66 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I remember seeing a topic somewhere that addressed the speed of opening and closing the convertible roof. I haven't been able to find it. Does anyone have any information about this topic? I have had my 07 GTH for 1800 miles and I love every second I am in the car! The snails pace of opening and closing the roof and the fact that you must be completely stopped to operate the roof drives me nuts. Help please!

Mine goes up and down slowly too.....compared to my 2000GT which is fast. Having to be stopped is a safety feature and is on most new convertibles I know of so the obvious doesnt happen - the top flys off while moving. :-) Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT-C0056 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I was on the freeway last week and I saw a Crysler Sebring try to raise the top while driving. it bent the hell out of it, he had to pull over. Im glad you have to stop. I do wish it went up faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im glad you have to stop. I do wish it went up faster. I'm glad I'm not the only one looking for a faster open/close time. I think the Crysler person must not have used his squash before trying to raise that top at speed on a freeway! That will cost a few greenbacks. Lucky he wasn't hurt. Suprise! Mustang Forums came up with the answer. Webelectric.com For about $50.00 and an hour or two of electrical work you can get your top up or down in about 10 seconds. Anyone heard of it? Reliable?
