Default 2006 Mustang Convertible 2 questions?

The windstop is a FORD accessory (2R3Z*76539A18*AA). When I got mine 2
years ago it listed for ~$277. I did find generic windstops online for
less but with my Mustang Club discount, it brought the price down to be
cheaper than the generics. Installation was simple, just unscrew 4
screws connecting the rear seat to the fabric cover, insert 2 brackets,
and then screw in the screws. The front connectors slide in under the
front seat belt housings and are tied down with an adjustable strap.
With the brackets installed it takes less than 1 minute to
install/remove the windstop (the top has to be down for that).

Yes, the top can be raised and lowered with the windstop in place with
plenty of clearance. Additionally, the windstop is hinged so that it can
be lowered to allow a clear view through the rear window without having
to look through the mesh.
