I plan to keep my stang vert in the garage all winter and since I'm new to verts and stangs is there anything I should do to the top before I store it in the garage? It will probably remain in the garage for right around  3 to 3 1/2 months. Unless there is a warm front that happens to roll in a little early. Any thoughts?

if it stays unmoved for that long i would probably prop it up on jackstands to avoid flat spots on your tires and fill  your gas up i dont know of nuthing else. im sure alot of people have more good ideas

I put mine in a self storage unit each winter. 
1. Fill tank and add gas stabilizer.
2. Put moth ball brick under car to keep critters away.
3. Cover
4. Pray for spring.

too stinky when you have to drive it again......use bounce tumble dryer sheets, the critters don't like the smell of those either but your car will smell of fresh laundry in the spring (a few under the hood, in the cabin & in the trunk)

also you could fill your tires with Nitrogen so the pressure doesn't drop over the storage period.  disconnect the battery.

when you start her up in the spring disconnect the coil lead & crank her over to distribute the oil through the engine before starting her for real - much kinder on the internals that way.
