  • You may be able to look down into the rear quarter panels behind where the main supports for the convertible to pivot on their hinges and see the cylinders. I haven't ever (so far) had problems with top cylinders in any of my convertibles. Others …
  • I would leave the oil in the motor as it is. Unless the motor is low I wouldn't worry about it. If you see a sign of leakage that would concern me and make me think the motor could be low on fluid.

    BE CAREFUL handling and moving the pl…
  • That is a nice looking car, but the close-up of the wipers shows what that dealership knows. Those are replacement wipers. I sure smell big money with that fancy description of the car.

    Remember, CarFax being clean has no bearing on wh…
  • Good troubleshooting! I would think it MIGHT be the relays or the top switch. Since you hear the clicking noise I would guess the connection path the relays close in on are bad inside of the relays. Followmy instructions for unplugging the relays…
  • If it clicks in both directions it may not be the relays. There is a circuit breaker on the starter solenoid that, if I am right, is the power feed for the convertible top motor too. Check to be sure there is 12VDC on both sides of the circuit bre…
  • Swapping the relays will make the "no up" problem become a "no down" problem if the one relay is bad.
  • Welcome. Convertibles are great! It is the top replacements that are expensive.

    I am hoping to do a top replacement on my '92 Feature convertible in the future and learn from my mistakes on that one. Then I will be ready as the others…
  • There are TWO relays in the trunk right next to the top motor. ONE is the UP relay and the other is the down relay. Check the switch on the dash to see if when you attempt to set the top lower the top tries moving downward. If it does swap the re…
  • It is still a Yellow/Black Feature convertible though, and with a little clean-up it'll look like new! When you get up in age the automatic is nicer to drive in traffic. Even though I like my two 5 speed Feature convertibles I do like driving the …
  • I am not on much and after picking up some great condition '92 white leather convertible seats today for my Triple-White in Bradenton Florida, I figured I would look around on here a bit.

    I found that Woolite Oxy Power Out Carpet Cleaner…
  • Definitely NOT a Fox Body Mustang stereo. It doesn't have the bracket on the bottom for the change compartment attachment to take up the area below the stereo in the dash.

    IF you have a 1993/1994 broken Explorer CD stereo with the 5 hol…
  • I can wish for a garage to keep all of my cars in so I can get a collector car policy and put all 5 cars on it. As it is right now insurance is about $1K - $1.2K every 6 months, for only the Mustangs.

    Wishing has to be followed by doing…
  • Why not take yours to a local radiator shop and have it rodded out or re-cored? You would keep your original tanks and get a new core if they re-core it.
  • NICE!

    At least you have kept it indoors!

    Is it a 5 speed or an automatic?

    Ouch, you push it in and pull it out of the bay? Does it run?
  • I believe the black "ridges" on the corner lights and turn signals are meant to be visible when looking at the front of the car. I have pulled a lot of headlights off of these cars and I usually have to remove the turn signals and corner lamps befo…
  • It sounds like a former owner didn't keep the tank full all of the time and drove around with 1/2 tank or less a lot.

    It may be that if your car sat for a long time before you got it those solder traces may just be extremely dirty. Runn…
  • Wow, I take that back. I didn't see the icon for the waiting PM and I must not have PM e-mail notification set up in my profile. I will have to wait on the mats right now, until I find out what Green Sales wants for the driver's mirror that I need.
  • What "7-Up" interior pieces are you needing? Are you looking for show-car parts or something that would fit for use on a driver? I have a 7-Up convertible sitting here that was bought as a parts car several years ago.
  • Wow, I just bought a Triple-White that needs a driver's side mirror. The former owner's dad backed this car up and broke the mirror so it has a black replacement on it. I hope to call Green Sales and get one coming my way on Monday. Thanks tulsaB…
  • Wow, I never received the PM. I have been searching around for a white driver's side mirror for my newest purchase and decided to come here and look around.
  • These are Triple White mats? What are you asking for them?

    I tried getting with a member here about a set of used '92 Feature convertible front seats. When I was in discussions with him about how to get them to me he quit responding. …
  • I have found that the wheels are dated like most Ford parts. Make sure you check the date stampings in the flat surfaces between the lug nut holes on the outside of the wheels. The wheels on my 1992 Feature convertible are dated about a week befor…
  • Here are pictures of the two covers that I was talking about. If you can't find a faceplate and you find another stereo with the squared corners you may need the top or bottom cover from the Explorer stereo if it has the correct holes in it. The t…
  • I'm back. I have now revised the installation of my "look-alike" AM/FM/CD player installation.

    I decided to do some additional investigating on my stereo installation in my newest purchase.

    As I looked at a few factory Fox B…
  • Orlando's CraigsList site is where I bought a single New-Old-Stock white Pony wheel from someone, right after I bought my '92 LE. Then I found a complete set of '92 wheels (with 1992 date codes/stampings in them) that someone in Lake Worth Florida …
  • Ok, I have been a bit lazy until today. I grouped the four Limited Edition convertibles together in a corner of the backyard and snapped some pictures. Here are a couple of those pictures.
  • Ok everybody, here is what I just did with my new Feature convertible.

    Since the radio wasn't in the car that I just purchased I thought I would "upgrade" my car to a factory CD player from what should be in there, an AM/FM/Cassette ster…
  • This is the car that I just purchased!!

    Thank you Matt!

    Thank you for the picture of the car loaded up on the auto transport before it left Ft. Collins too!

    I couldn't have ever thought about finding, and being fo…
  • My new acquisition arrived tonight! I couldn't have been more fortunate than I have been with finding this car!

    I have a "group photo" from when I had the 4 7-Up convertibles here at one time. I will have to work on corraling all of th…
