Hi,

I just got my first Mustang, and had a question about the T-Tops. It is an 87 GT with T-Tops. The drivers door looks like it has been replaced with an older door, and when I roll the window all the way up, it is still about 2 inches from the bottom of the t-top weather stripping. Is there a difference in the lenth of the windows, between a hard top, and t-top car?? Or is there somthing else that could cause this problem??

THANKS

Sounds like they replaced the door with one from a convertible, the doors are the same but the windows aren't. Not sure if there is a whole 2" difference though.

BEFORE buying a new window, I would check the window stops. There are 2 of these, 1 for the front of the window, and 1 at the rear, I dont think they will give you a full 2 inches, but I would check them first either way
