Whether it’s your 1st Mustang or your 50th, sometimes it can be tough to decide between a Mustang fastback or coupe and a convertible for your next pony. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, if you enjoy maximum handling capability, you just can’t beat the structural integrity that comes with a hardtop. On the other hand, if you enjoy beachside cruises or early morning drives on your favorite backroad, a convertible may be better for you.

Convertibles are the perfect ride on a warm, sunny day. But soft tops, like those on the Mustang, do need some upkeep to keep them in good condition. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step instructions for cleaning your Mustang’s convertible top.
