How many of you would like Ford to put T-Tops back on the Mustang in 2009? I for one would LOVE to have them do this. This is the only reason I would consider buying a TransAm or Camaro for the simple fact that I absolutely love T-Tops. It pains me that I can not purchase a Mustang with T-Tops now 
So Ford, please consider a T-Top version of the Ford Mustang in 2009!

I'm kind of up in the air about this one. T-tops are nice... but they leak and make the car less structurally sound than a coupe. Therefore, to compensate for this... they are also going to end up a good bit heavier.
They are a lot like convertibles to me, fun as hell to get out and drive, but I wouldn't want to drive one every day.

T-Tops dont leak if you do them right.

And you think Ford will do it right? 
I know the fox T-tops were notorious for leaking. Of course, they stopped making those nearly twenty years ago... but like I said... it's Ford. They really haven't improved much over the past twenty years. |

Yeah, Ford is not too great with wheatherstripping. Look at how many layers it took to "seal" our doors around the windows. 
But I think they can be done well. Especially with the aftermarket that is available now. There will be a company that comes out with a better insulation system that can replace the stock crap one, hopefully.
So overall, I give a big YES!

Well, since it was my suggestion in the other thread that brought this up in the first place (because I am so awesome), its a yes for me as well.

I really dont see them looking good, they work on the firebirds and camaros (new style) but not sure they would fit right on a newer stang... to mullet-ish.

but see, the 09 is still in concept form, lots of things can change, I mean, remember all the concepts they put out for the sn95s?

The t-tops in my Camaro started leaking. Car had about 100,000 miles on it when they started. Silicone caulking fixed 'em. Haven't had any trouble out of the ones in the TA.
I think they're about the greatest things ever. I love the open top feel, but I hate the lines on most all convertables. With the t-tops, I still get the coupe look, and the open top.

As the current owner of a T-topped Stang, I'd like to see it come back as an option.
As I mentioned in another thread, a targa top option would be sweet to see as well, and if they do actually create t-tops, it wouldn't be much more work.

I love a t-top, i almost bought a crapero for that reason. If you have sat in a 300zx, the way those are done are badass to in the inside. I love a t-top and actually found a t-top kit to do on a 99-04... but im not going to do it, to much money dont' want problems either. But yea, t-top ftw!

i said no on the vote for several resons
1. weight well increase to much( an this is what makes mustangs run quick times our weight)
2.you well be paying insurance for a convertabale when you dont have one.
3. like every one says LEAKS.
4.an from personal things i have seen as a emt on a rescue squad ....in t- tops an convertabals alike well flip an disasimple easyer in a high speed crash than a hard top..... in other words you flip you die in most cases your head well hit the crowned right after the top of the windshild does ....not pretty trust me
but dont get me wrong i love t-tops ...on the f bodys but there is a reson why ford stoped doing the t-tops not sure but there is. an i think hard tops fun a little quicker too. but like the other guy said it would be cool to see it as a option.

I voted yes. But I personnally wouldn't want one, just for all the people that would. If it meant you couldn't get a couple then I would voted no.

If the new convertible has been engineered to be light years ahead of the sn-95 and fox bodies, I don't understand why ford can't fit t-tops into the production schedule. It would give the option of open air driving without the added weight of a convertible.

I hate T Tops, I like the retro 50's and 60's themes, but theses 80's options need to stay in the 80's.. When I think of T | | |
