Ford Mustang (2005-2014) Owners Manual: Opening the convertible top
Note: Do not store articles behind rear seat. Articles stored in the convertible top stowage compartment may break the rear glass window when the top is opened.

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The ignition must be on. It is
recommended that the engine is running when opening the top to

Note: If the top has not been opened for some time and sticks to the windshield header, push the front of the top up slightly with your hand to loosen it.
