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. Richard wrote: > > "J.

: > 31 mpg (Imperial gallons) is 24.8 mpg U.S. gallons Mine has 1200 miles on it and I am lucky to get 20MPG. But then again, I don't cruise at 70MPh which may have a lot to do with it. I'm sure I can get better number if I do a similar run, but my commute is only like 8 miles highway (at 85/80 MPH) and 3 miles top&go traffic. -- _ 1995 Mustang V6 Coupe (Bright Blue) |_| Member Modern Mustangs of North America (MMNA) http://mustang.fdns.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
