I've found the vert top is pretty maintenace free, enjoy it![8D]
Keep it clean, don't put the top down when it's wet because that could cause mildew to start, and NEVER put stuff like Armor-All on the top! It might look good the day you applied it, but eventually it becomes an even bigger dust magnet & the stuff can even make the material brittle over time

Thanks for your response, but having had a vert (RX7 Turbo )in the past i was aware of how to maintain a vert top .I was more intrested in things like is it possible to put in an powered antenna as i feel the Mustsang fixed antenna detracts from the look of the car.Any other mods you feel i should incorporate ?

Dont know about the later cobra, but my 84 really liked the sub frame connectors..

You can put a power antenna in a fox body I know for a fact (I have a book with the instructions and part numbers that I have been tearing my apartment apart looking for). Don't go through "laser washes") that use the high power water to get the dirt off (BUt I'm guessing you knew that one). other then that they are pretty much common sense stuff, and enjoy.

I am going to be moving in the next month so I am really hoping it shows up during the packing and the like. BUt I will post it as soon as I find the book.

Man ,the battery went and i had Gods own time getting a battery that would fit,if it was the right height it was too narrow to clamp down,if it was ok in height and ok in width it was too long .Dealer finally came up with one that would fit.
