morning. this place is for anybody whose roof folds, stacks or unzips. Corvettes, Mustangs, Camaros, Miatas, Boxsters, the BMW folding hardtops, the old Sebring your aunt left you. if it opens, it counts.

there are three boards. Top down talk is for driving: wind, heat, where you went, what you wish you had bought. Tops, seals and care is for the roof itself, fabric or metal, plus drains, motors, weatherstrip and the rear window that always fails first. Buying and auctions holds the purchase stories, prices and how the car reached your driveway.

the ground rules fit on a napkin. first post gets year, model and top type, because "my top won't close" with no car attached just earns you six questions back. purchase stories come with a price. nobody sells cars inside threads. dealer and shop folks are welcome, mention it once.

accounts are by email while i keep the bots out. tell me the car and the town. paula.

in from Pensacola, 2020 Mustang EcoBoost vert, white with the black top. one ask. my dad's 1966 Mustang convertible is sitting in my garage with a top that hasn't gone down since the Carter administration. is there room for the old stuff here or is this a newer car place?

room for it. old cars go on the same boards as everything else, the problems are the same problems with fewer wires. if we end up with ten threads about vacuum top cylinders i will make them a board of their own. forty one sign ups since tuesday. not bad for a site nobody has heard of. ask your questions, dumb ones too.
