How To Replace Fox Body Mustang T-Top Weatherstrip (1981-1988)

1981-1988 Mustang T-Top Weatherstrip.
Fox Body Mustang t-top weatherstripping is often found dry-rotted and worn from age and continuous removal of the t-top glass. The main weatherstripping is constructed from OE-grade EPDM rubber and molded with close tolerances to ensure a great fit onto your Fox Body. Both the latch seals and retainer padding are made from foam just like the factory pieces. Enough rivets are included to properly retain the frontward and rearward t-top assembly moldings to the roof of the car.

T-Top Differences.
To determine the build date of your Mustang, please refer to the date on the upper left corner of your VIN sticker located in your driver door jamb. If a VIN sticker is not available, please refer to the following measurements. These measurements reference the length of the pillar-post portion of the t-top weatherstrip.

Fitment Notes:
- 1981-1984 (built before 10/83) - 38"
- 1984 (built from 10/83)-1986 - 26"
- 1987-1988 - 30"
- Some early 1981-82 T-top Mustangs had a pillar length of approximately 23". For these applications, it would be best to use the 1984-86 weatherstrip and glue down the extra 3" of weatherstrip.

Applications: 1981-1988 Mustang w/ T-Top

Is there any videos showing how to remove the riveted part by the windshield on the roof. I drilled the rivets out to try and take bracket off for paint and it would come off so I was just going to re rivet it however when I was punching the drilled rivets out I put a dent on the left side . So now it will all have to come off in order for that dent to be fixed. Please help me and my brother have been working on that car for 2 years and we were going to paint it this week. And that dent ruined it. It’s a 85 gt. Thanks

Thank you for your videos. I finally completed my t top weatherstrip replacement on my 85’. It was extremely time consuming, tedious, often very frustrating and tested my patience. The leaking is worst, LOL. I am not discouraging anyone, but if your Fox is not a daily driver, and the leak is not extreme(both applies to me)...l would leave it as is or pay a professional(it will probably be costly). This is an experience I won’t forget

I’ve heard of too many T-top roofs leaking, and my brother said they were not as safe in a collision.

I been meaning to tackle this for a while. Probably be a spring project. Sucks not being able to drive in the rain!

[markrosas]

Question, doing this job as we speak. I don't see a mention of gluing down the main T Top weatherstripping. I would think we need to glue that down.

[Grabber]

I do miss my 1985 Mustang GT 5-Speed with T-tops. Don't miss drive through car washes in it though :)

[DaRkmatter.]

I been waiting for this video all new weather strips kinda a small leak

[notsure]

when you list "alcohol" as a required tool to do this work, will beer be enough or are we going to need hard liquor?

[hoodtv]

[notsure]

[alyssaway]

JMac this one of your best videos and very good cinematography and steps! I know you got it in you for some more!! Do a 86 GT T-Top car with no cruize and needs to upgrade too speed sensor and got new plug from LMR and sensor and doing a MAF conversion...

[christiant.]

You guys don't sell the ttop to body trim front and rear....will these trim pieces ever be available? Thanx lmr.

[singularity]

And I thought replacing a convertible top was a PITA... challenge accepted.

[Riffs_Garage]

Do you guys have anymore videos on this car? I have a 86 Capri with T-tops and would love to see more content on this car

[Riffs_Garage]

[CombsTowerProductions]
