I've got a 2007 Mustang Convertible. The rear glass is about to fall and I took it to the shop. They said that the top needs to be replaced, and the cost is around $2000-4000. I don't have that kind of money right now, so I searched it online and found a page explaining how to glue the rear glass as a temporary solution. I think I'm gonna glue it until I save some money, but I'm not sure about how the rear glass was originally located. All I need is a close-up picture of the rear glass of a convertible Mustang of the same body type as 2007 (I guess 2005-2006-2007-2008-2009 are all the same). Could anyone with a convertible send me some close-up pictures of the rear glass??? I really need it soon please before the glass falls completely... I'd really appreciate it a lot!

Here's a closeup photo of the rear window. I'll send you the full size version to your email. Hope this helps. BTW, that price for your top seems really high. I'd shop around with car upholstery shops. I'll bet you can do a lot better than the price you were quoted.

yep, a club member is having the same problem with his rear glass too. he took it to the dealership and they told him it would be around $1,500 because he has the vinyl top..the cloth top convertibles cost around $2,500

he was told he could hot glue it back together?? he said he was going to try this and let me know (that was last weekend). I haven't heard anything from him yet.

My sister paid a little over $1600.00 to have her tan vinyl top replaced. New one has a 5 year warranty. Her back window came loose from the top also and Ford refused to fix it.

...and I assume you are completely out of warranty? Dang, I hope that does not happen to me. Let us know how it turns out.

Wow, that's cheap compared to other sites.

I have purchased several items from Tousley and Steve over there has always been helpful and professional... Their shipping is reasonable and customer service is top notch. An example is how the part I was shipped was a relabeled old stock part of the P/N I ordered... It didn't have the change I needed. They are shipping me the newer part (that is the revised part) and enclosing a return label for the old stock... All the while he was friendly and helpful... I can't complain for how I am treated by them. The local Ford Dealership refuses to answer the phone, return messages, or even sell parts for less than the MSRP... Matter of fact the part I am referring to, the local dealership wanted more than the list price... Go figure.

I plan on getting a new Mustang next year and it will be my first convertible.

From what I have learned from reading everything I could find about the subject, the most common reason for a seal breaking this way is because of high pressure water spray from the car wash. I've also read about temperature extremes playing a part, but that seems to be more about vinyl and less for the cloth tops.

I read the Mustang manual for 2011 models and the only warning was about the car wash issue.

I bought my Mustang brand new, and never had it car-washed. I heard that falling of the rear glass is a common problem with convertibles but it generally happens after about 10 years. Mine happened in 4 years. It must be the heat in Texas, or my converting the top a lot.
