Hello Ivonovi
Your top is basically the same as the S550 series tops.
Here is a troubleshooting guide that may/may not help as it addresses the electronics and motors that move your top up.
It may help explain why your top goes up crooked.
Thanks

FYI
I am a convertible owner.
The convertible is about 180 lbs heavier than the fastback, and has a slightly more neutral front/rear weight ratio as most of the additional weight is over the rear axle. They will flex more than a fastback even with the rear subframe added.
The vert will...
I am not qualified to answer that question. If you drop the engine too low, it could affect the drive train as the angle from the engine to the main drive shaft would be less than optimal.

Hello Gene3
If your vert has the performance package, you have all the reinforcements from the factory! Cool!
You can still add the Steeda 2-point lower bar for even more stiffness. If you race your vert, you may want to consider their 4 point (more weight but even more stiffness).
Since you...
Since the vert weights approx 180 bs more than the hardtop, Ford attached a rear subframe to help stiffen the body.
For optimum results, the braces off of the performance version will help. That includes, the strut brace, upper K brace, firewall reinforcement piece, and lower K brace. All are...
Try 303 fabric protector/water repellent. Or go to West Marine and buy their canvas waterproofer.
I have used both. They work well, but I lean towards the 303 product..

Give it some time. There will be a spoiler that fits a Vert from some other aftermarket company.
Same thing happened with the previous generation.

In past decades, Ford would provide an "Anniversary" package for their Mustangs. The Mustang Anniversary is April 17, 2024.
Anyone heard anything from Ford about any Anniversary Mustangs??
I know the Mustang Club of America, which I am a member, is hosting special events in April to mark the...
Great looking white Vert! Reminds me of mine (also a Canadian vert complete with engine block heater).
Yes, to get rid of snow up north, stand in the middle of your driveway, 3 feet from your car, and slowly wave a regular hair dryer across the length of it. Move slowly around the car as you...

Hello All:
As a Vert owner, I carefully read all the S550 Convertible Forum postings. There was a lot of great advice there that S650 owners could use.
I am requesting that a S660 Convertible Forum be created. I am considering upgrading to a new Vert.
If you want, I could create the first...
So...here is the question: On the S550's, there was a firewall reinforcement piece that had to be purchased separately (around $50) where the K-brace attached to the firewall. On the Ford kits, they never included it, but everyone knew to purchase it separately.
I have one on my S550.
