Ford Mustangs are available in coupe or convertible configuration. The convertible model has a powered top, which allows you to lower or raise the top with the touch of a button. Its not necessary to get out of your drivers seat--the top is operated from inside the cabin. Letting the top down is the same on all fifth-generation Ford Mustangs (2005 to 2010). If you have an older Ford Mustang, the procedure is similar; see the Tips section.
Step 1
Move the gearshift selector to "Park." Make sure the engine is running. If its not, crank it.
Step 2
Push the convertible latches down, and then rotate the latches outward. These latches are located on the windshield header, near the visors.
Step 3
Lower the side windows and rear-quarter windows, using your driver-master switch.
Locate the convertible-top switch on the overhead console, above the rear-view mirror. The switch has "Up" and "Down" arrows. Press and hold the "Down" arrow to lower the top. Release the button when the top is completely stored.
Tips
- The convertible top will operate when the Mustang is not in park, but this is not recommended, unless its an emergency. The top will operate at speeds up to three-miles per hour.
- The procedure is similar in the fourth-generation Mustang (1994 to 2004), except the parking brake must be set. Also, the convertible-top switch is located on the center console, not on the overhead console.
