Never knew how the first generation T-Birds disse this. Doesn't look like something you do whilst the light is red.

My dad's 57 had a zipper along the top of the vinyl rear window, you unzip the window so it laid flat and avoid pinching the vinyl in the center when the top is down

Just bought a 56 Bird. The owners manual was not so great w/o a drawing. This video is a huge help and lesson. Thanks !

And thats why Miata is always the answer.

Doesn't look too bad, at least it's not like the Murcielago Roadster's roof...

Seems it wouldn't be so challenging if he laid the top out and fastened the rear bits first then the front header bar latches then everything could be easily done by 1 person hmmmm

I can't believe this...I bought this t bird from this gentleman in 2010. I replaced the top when I got it. The car was great. I got more looks with this car, then I got with my corvette. I sold it for a great profit. I hope Chris is doing fine.

Ridiculous design by Ford..It basically eliminates the possibility of driving solo with the top down,..kept me from buying a Tbird…I bought a vette instead…Ford should’ve looked at chevy’s design

I did this myself and had to go see the chiropractor.

Can you leave the rear and side clamps fastened and just fold the top back for a short sunshine spin. Will it catch the wind if you do this?

I thought the convertible top was permanently bolted behind the back of the seat somehow

Sir, you have a VERY nice VERY original Westy there! Consider yourself lucky. That thing will be worth a lot of money down the road. The curtains are not original, it is very rare to find a bus that does have OG curtains, however the curtain for the sliding door is original. The cots, curtains, and radios really dial these campers in and make them worth more than all the others still on the road... What ever you plan on doing with your bus, I hope you enjoy it! ~peace
