Re: Convertible Top - Bright White or Oxford White?
Well, it looks like Oxford was the color top put on my car. After reading about build sheets in "The Den" I called Ford and requested a sheet. They called this morning to confirm the address and I asked the person if they would tell me the color of the top. They said Oxford along with the interior. Looks like that is the direction I will go. I believe it would match the rest of the car better since the door panels and such are also Oxford.

I also learned my car was built 5-26-92 which was a Tuesday. Good day of the week to build a car!

Thanks to everyones help in this process.

Congratulations! I know what a long and trying process these things can become when there is little or no information available and yet you want to make the correct decision. I went through a similar thing with tires.

I can't wait to see your car with the new top!

Re: Convertible Top - Bright White or Oxford White?
I finally got a new top today for my '92 feature car and it looks great. "Oxford White" is the way to go - it looks just like I remember it did way back in 1992 - original and perfect. I should've done this five years ago. Nachos Upholstery in Van Nuys CA did a great job, and did it fast.

Congrats on the top!! I desparately need one and now ready to get it done now that the Oxford/Performance thing is resolved.

What brand did they use? How does it fit? Did they replace any of the weather stripping? How much did you pay? Did they replace the pads and cables?

My area top guys are saying my weather stripping is still good after 16 years (?) I guess I should not complain but will say that the top is not leak proof right now. They said that my old top is so dried out that it is not letting the top sit properly and let's water in when I wash it. A new top will fix this. We will see soon!

Thanks

Ken

I don't know the brand and assume that they only replaced the actual top. It seems to fit very well and looks authentic. Nacho assured me, and I believe he's correct, that for 1992 there was only Oxford White, which is what I got. $475.

Thanks,

Yeah, that is what 3 of the top guys in my area said, Oxford for a 92. One did not even look it up, he knew through 92's were Oxford. Not bad.

$475!?!? The lowest price I got in NJ is $1000 for the top, cables and labor. I need to move!!

Re: Convertible Top - Bright White or Oxford White?
Well, it is time, so I took the plunge today! I gave a deposit to get my top done and they said to bring it back tomorrow to get it started. Oxford White all the way!! The guy here is going to have it completed by Monday. It is WAY overdue. It is amazing but I really only drive the car with the top down but those few times I put it up the wind rushing over it thrashed it. It seems any time I took it out the top would just rip more. Once you get a little rip look out!!

Here is a before pic taken in my driveway this afternoon. Note how the side is ripped from the front to the back. That was just a little tear not too long ago.



The only bad thing...tomorrow we are suppose to have heavy downpours. Looks like I may get a little wet taking her in.
