I have had a couple of convertibles before this 2006 Mustang. The quality of the top and system appears very good to me. No leaks, a little more noise of course than a coupe but no wind noise even on the expressway with a very strong wind blowing. No leaks in rain, and no leaks when I take it through one of the "touchless car washes" to get it cleaned quickly.

I had a Trans Am convertible (1999) - really liked the car but the top leaked quite a bit. My wife got soaked when she took it through a car wash on her way to work (and then the next day GM sent the letter asking if she was happy with the car and she unloaded on them). The dealer tried 3 times to fix the leaking and wind noise, finally sent it out to a convertible top shop to work on it and they managed to slow the leak but the car always had a small leak around the top of the windows. The Mustang is much better than that top was.

This is our first convertible -- I've had Targa Tops (Vette), and T-Tops (TransAm) before and we are very pleased with the 2007 GT Convertible we have.
Very quiet with the top up -- quieter than my SRT4 was which has a roof :-p

The top operation takes about 15 seconds either direction, though it is very slick (Z-fold). The cloth is fairly high quality, though I notice there are some ragged threads in the rear window I'm going to have the Dealer look at.

It looks wonderful up or down. Love the roofile that emulates early Mustangs (as opposed to the fastbacks). In fact, one of my friends who is friends with someone who has a coupe said that it is a lot easier to sit in the back of the convertible with the top up than the coupe since you have more headroom!

And of course with the top down listening to the exhaust its priceless.

Go for it!

I have been very please with the quality of the top so far. The interior finish of the inside of the top is very niceand clearn.I have found the interior noise with the top up to be fairly quiet as compared to other convertibles. I also like how the first 12" of the top is hard so that when lowered it gives it a nice finished rounded look.

I love my convertible, and to date, <knock on wood> have not had any problems with the top. You really won't hear much wind noise once you replace the exhasut with something louder.

Make sure to pay for teh upgrade to cloth.... It is well worth the price....

You can actually drive around with the top "up"?

I have only owned convertibles for the past 20 years (if you count a Jeep Wrangler as a convertible). I had a 2004 GT vert, then a 2006 Miata MX-5, now a 2006 GT vert. The top on the Miata MX-5 was the best - manual - 1 latch - up/down in 5 seconds. As far as sports car verts go - there is no other way to go than the Mustang IMHO. I have had no problems or complaints. BTW - I prefer the vinyl top myself. Cheers.

We picked up our Oh Five on 05/05/05, and have had a great time with it as a DD (first for me, and now it's my wife's DD). All four seasons - it's our family car. You should have NO regrets putting your wife into a S197 ragtop

Well, what is the phrase you use for having it covering the car? If the top can be down, can't it be up also? Whatever, symantics! lol
