OK, I played around with the top going up and down a bunch and the issue isn't that the top is actually moving forwards too far. The issue is the top is either going too fast or has lost control coming to a stop when raising and it slams all the way into the top of the windshield frame. If I...

Unfortunately the filling up of the pump didn't address it. The fluid was a bit low, but I topped it off and ran it up multiple times and kept topping it up, and there was 0 improvement. The top just slams into the top of the windshield frame and the motor keeps running for a few more seconds...

OK, do I want to tighten or loosen that? Thanks!

Ugh, you are probably correct. They must not have run the system up and down a few times and let the air out and topped it off again.

I had leaky hydraulic arms and my top stopped working. So I ordered new heavy duty arms from LMR and had a shop install them and refill the fluid. Top goes up and down now. Only issue is now when I close the top it slams full force into the top of the windshield. It used to stop an inch...

I have been through numerous sets of tires on the Cobra and I agree the new Continental summer tires are good. The ride quality is great and they are also sticky. Mickey Thompson Street Comp are still available in sizes for the Terminator. They are really good for grip when the rubber is...

I want an AGM battery and it looks like for some reason there are zero Group 59 AGM batteries out there. Nothing from Optima, Odyssey, Northstar, or anything. So I'm going with the Optima since folks here have had reasonable luck getting them to fit in the stock location with a few hacks to...

Anyone have a link to the parts diagram for the '04 Mustang convertible trunk? I need to find the part number for one of those black plastic wingnuts that hold the trunk liner in place. Thanks!

I have all stock pullies on my engine and accessories today. I'm putting a new alternator on and I have read the recommendations to use a larger pulley to slow it down and extend the service life. I already bought a new belt in stock length. Will it fit if the only pulley I increase size on...

Hi Guys, My 2004 Cobra has been running just great since I bought it new in '04. I've been regularly changing the fluids on an annual or three year schedule based on the fluid, and that's about it. Well, I changed the OEM battery finally last year, but even that was still working. I've...

I have all of the paperwork on my Cobra and everything that came with the car since I bought it brand new. That includes the little 4x6 card that was in the trunk with the spare tire. Unfortunately, I had my wheel taken off by a local wheel shop to get it re-chromed and they put the spare tire...

My Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires are at the end of their natural life. I have quite a bit of tread left, but they are from 2007 and the rubber is going bad. Time for new meat. It looks like the GS-D3 is discontinued and while there is still some stock left out there, the prices have doubled...

I have a small amount of curb rash on one of my '04 Cobra chrome wheels. Does anyone have a recommendation for a wheel repair shop in the area? I am due for new tires soon, so I figure I might as well get the wheels cleaned up while the tires are coming off.

Lately I've been having an issue in my Terminator where the car doesn't startup smoothly if the AC is left in the on position. The idle drops almost to zero before for a split second before picking up to normal or sometimes stalls. Startup with AC turned off is smooth and normal. Not sure why...

I've got that annoying constant buzzing coming from the center radio+AC controls area. I already found the fix on here about upgrading the AC vents in the center console to the newer part that supposedly doesn't buzz. It definitely quieted things a big. But the buzz is still there. If I...

Hi Folks, For those with very low mileage Terminators, what sort of regular maintenance schedule are you following? I only drive maybe 1K a year in mine, and only have 23K on the odometer. I've been changing my oil annually with synthetic and every three or four years bringing it in for 30k...

I've got a nearly stock Terminator and I'm going to get a new clutch kit because I've got nasty throw out bearing noise. Figured if I'm going to replace the TOB and sleeve, I might as well do the clutch. And maybe if I'm going to do the clutch, maybe I might as well upgrade to a 26 spline...

Arrrggh. My perfect '04 Mystichrome got rear ended by a drunk tonight. :fm: The only upshot is that the damage appears limited to the rear bumper, no metal body panels appear to have moved in any way. Regardless, I will need a new bumper and want to have it painted by a shop that does...

Hi Guys - Right now my Cobra is a daily driver, and even that is a stretch as I've only put 13K on the odometer in 3.5 years. I'm getting weary of driving in it the elements in Seattle all the time, and only for a few miles each day. It's not the greatest thing for the engine or the...

I want to put one of those K&N precharger nylon nets over the Steeda CAI filter to offer better filtration. I'm not sure of the dimensions of the filter so I don't know which precharger to order. Anyone know off the top of their head?

Is the rear window on the Cobra convertible made of glass or plastic? I heard that often convertible rear windows are not glass and need to be treated differently than glass. Anyone know for sure?

All of the spring sets I have seen for the Terminator appear to be optimized for the coupe. The factory actually put different springs in the coupes and convertibles, so I figure someone must be making aftermarket springs that are tuned for the heavier convertibles.

How often do you guys wash your Mustang? Seems that most folks here are detailing (wax or polish&wax) somewhere between once a month and once every six months. But do you wash all the time inbetween, or do your rides stay decent enough that you really only wash when you detail? The reason I...

Anyone know how Magnaflow stainless steel kits differ from Borla or Bassani? Their pricess are way cheaper than the other two, and seem to have similar design. Is their contruction quality bad or is the steel inferior? Or do they just have better facilities and can produce more at a lower price?
