In this video I will demonstrate two (2) ways to fix the gap between the front and rear window in a Ford Mustang Convertible while I was on vacation. Enjoy!
I just bought a mustang and freaked out when I saw that and thought I got ripped off but then I saw this video and it fixed it and I’m so grateful for you for this! Thank you so much!
This happened to me on the same exact model of rental car and the same side of it. You would think Ford would do something about this. Thank you for creating this video so I could straighten it out before I turned it in.
Wow thank you for posting this video. Had same situation with our rental in Hawaii as well. You saved us a call to the rental company and/or possible drive back to the airport rental office. The first fix ,just pulling the windows worked for us.
Thank you, sir!!! I swear we were in the exact car last night(silver Mustang) . This happened as we got to our hotel and after being up 20hours we were so annoyed trying to deal with that!! Your video was MUCH appreciated 🙏🙏🙏🙏
There’s no way! I think that’s the exact car I just rented in Hawaii! And have that issue so I found your video lol. Wish you had shown the license plate! Thanks!!!!!
We have a 2017 mustang with this issue and it's been driving us nuts for years. Fords response was "We know that's a problem, but there' s nothing we can do about it". We've been using the "Get out of the car and Pull the window" method for years and it's a pain in the ass. If slapping a little Vaseline in that slot works I'm going to love you, but I'm going to hate Ford even more that I already do... I'll keep you posted on the outcome... Thanks!!!! :)
There is actually a way to fix this by adjusting the bolt that controls the angle of the glass. This involves removing the backseat and rear plastic panels though but is an actual fix instead of treating the symptom.
I had this problem. When window gets to point it won't connect with passenger window, i push window button down once real quick and pull up again real quick and window comes up to point to connect to passenger window. Takes some skill, but I got it down lol.
Reading the responses, it appears this sort of thing happens with most Mustang convertibles as rentals. My wife and I are seriously considering purchasing a 2021 non-rental Mustang convertible and the rear windows got stuck like the one in this video. However, the rear window on the driver's side closed better than the passenger side, but still, there was still a gap. How often will we have to lotion these windows? As one reviewer said, why hasn't Ford addressed this issue?
after driving this convertible in Hawaii... I would strongly against purchasing this car. besides the gap... I found this convertible very noisy and loud and not the good kind of loud. In comparison with my only other convertible experience , which is Lexus SC430, the lexus is so much better. again... If I am in your shoes, I would look for another convertible... good luck and thanks for watching my video.
We actually saw a few more Mustangs around the island with the same problem. When we returned the car the worker just said they were all aware of the situation, shrugged her shoulders and said… American cars? 😬😬😬
Interesting comments…does no one read the owner’s manual supplied with car? Under every six months: check Door weatherstrips for wear. Lubricate if necessary
@@minhsao my wife has a 2019 Mustang GT convertible. We have so much fun with it! It just turned 95k miles. I do the maintenance, change oil and rotate tires every 5k miles. Only parts replace are battery, brakes and tires. Trans and diff fluids @ 50k. Live in AZ so Cabin and air filter 10k. It’s been a very reliable
Nice!!! Literally here in Hi and was thinking, please don’t freaking rain!!! And was going to return it. Regardless, that’s why I don’t buy American cars 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️. Lame.
Haha did we get your car? Rental in LAX gray mustang with Hawaii plates TVE 517. Thanks!!!!! They must have shipped it to LA to make it another branch's problem
Mustang has been the biggest piece of garbage. The rubber that goes between the 2 windows fell off and I'm trying to figure out how to fix it. I wish I knew what it was even called.
This video has convinced me that there is a fix for EVERYTHING on the internet. Same car, same place, first Google result? Incredible
I use silicone and stays way longer th-cam.com/video/5iuWWBzgzRw/w-d-xo.html
I also probably just rented the same car in Hawaii (silver), came looking for the solution. I think I am going to carve my name in it, jk.
I just bought a mustang and freaked out when I saw that and thought I got ripped off but then I saw this video and it fixed it and I’m so grateful for you for this! Thank you so much!
Ong I did too😂😂
Rented same Mustang on a trip to Seattle to go the mountains and this did the trick. Just pulled on them and bam. Good to go. Thanks so much dude!
This happened to me on the same exact model of rental car and the same side of it. You would think Ford would do something about this. Thank you for creating this video so I could straighten it out before I turned it in.

Saved me trip to the dealership... Thank you!!
Wow thank you for posting this video. Had same situation with our rental in Hawaii as well. You saved us a call to the rental company and/or possible drive back to the airport rental office. The first fix ,just pulling the windows worked for us.

Same issue with a rental - thanks for posting!

had that done that the dealer, was good for month , and now its still not closing all the way
For rental cars, this fix is good enough to turn in instead of removing the backseat and making a mess
Thanks man, i was already getting worried 😂😂1st rental of one of these
Glad I could help
Thank you guys 🥹
This helped me with our rental Mustang.
We're all renting the same darn Mustang! LOL
Thank you for saving me a trip to the dealer
Thanks for the help I was driving a rental and your video helped me out
Hahah nice. Thanks friend - had this happen with my rental mustang too, good yank on the windows and they're good now lol

I had this problem. When window gets to point it won't connect with passenger window, i push window button down once real quick and pull up again real quick and window comes up to point to connect to passenger window. Takes some skill, but I got it down lol.
I have the same problem with my rental. I'm gonna try this!!!
Thank you SO much for making this video!!!

Not all heros wear capes, we salute you, sir! I'd totally PayPal or venmo you 5 bucks.
Great video 🎉
Lol this car is famous. We’re apparently driving the same one right now. Same problem. Same solution.
We actually saw a few more Mustangs around the island with the same problem. When we returned the car the worker just said they were all aware of the situation, shrugged her shoulders and said… American cars? 😬😬😬
You are a hero
Perfect. Have the same issue with rental
Having this problem on my 94 GT. It's so weird how the windows look exactly the same, lol
Bro, thank you

Interesting to know... after driving that mustang in hawaii... the mustang convertible is no longer on my list of cars that I want.

Thank you
Me in hawaii in a mustang convertible with this same problem lol thanks!
This worked for my 1999 mustang
Nice!!! Literally here in Hi and was thinking, please don’t freaking rain!!! And was going to return it. Regardless, that’s why I don’t buy American cars 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️. Lame.
Me too! And it’s noisy
great video!!!
Thanks. I also rented this car
Thank you!
Thanks my rental was doing same thing
Thank you~
Haha did we get your car? Rental in LAX gray mustang with Hawaii plates TVE 517. Thanks!!!!! They must have shipped it to LA to make it another branch's problem
Thx you really much guy
my side driver back window for my convertible mustang gt will not go up, any recommendations
Mahalo🤟
What u apply on the glass?
Can’t it mess up ur window??? When u pull it?
it depends ... :)
Not us all renting the mustang convertible
How about Ford fix this issue? It’s ridiculous that we need to pull out this type of fuckery as a solution
Yep after driving that … I would not buy one
Us guys can use your own lubricant
Mustang has been the biggest piece of garbage. The rubber that goes between the 2 windows fell off and I'm trying to figure out how to fix it. I wish I knew what it was even called.
