Question 1988 Mustang Gt - Convertible top is damaged
Hi, I am new to this website, I have a 1988 Ford Mustang GT with a black convertible top. It has 4 slices right in the front. I was wondering if I should replace it completely or can I buy some kind of kit to fix it? The top is vinyl. Thanks all.

Welcome to AFM!

I dont know of any way to fit it that would look good other then replacement, and check pricing, the top it not that expensive but having it fitted is.

Hello and welcome. If it were mine I would just redo the whole thop. Just my opinion.

You could contact a local convertible top shop but I think your best best is going to be to replace it.
