Glass Roof Option for 2009 Ford Mustang

Posted January 13, 2008 at 1:48 pm Make a Comment

: Mustang with glass roof option

The Ford Mustang gets a whole new outlook with a glass roof option for the 2009 model year. This option comes in response to drivers’ increasing desire for natural light in their cars, particularly as their commutes get longer. It also offers a convenient midpoint for those looking for the view of a convertible with the climate-control and structural integrity of a traditional coupe.

The roof is made of specially-formulated glass that blocks infrared rays, protecting both the car’s occupants and its upholstery. This glass also reduces vehicle cool-down time by 50 percent. The model incorporates a retractable blind that may be used to block the sun and provide privacy.

The new roof will be available as an option on both the V-6 Mustang and Mustang GT beginning in the summer of 2008. This brings the number of roof options available on the Ford Mustang up to three. The model joins the 2008 Mustang Bullitt and 2008 Shelby GT500KR, adding variety to the Mustang stable for its 45-year anniversary. The glass roof option will cost $1,995, or half the cost of the convertible option.

I have a 2006 GT with the glass roof. I'm puzzled because I just found out that it is a new option for 2009. I bought mine off the lot and nobody said it was unusual at the time. Anyone know of other 2006 GTs like mine?

Brad says (November 4, 2008 at 1:14 pm):

The Glass roof design was started by an aftermarket company in 2006 they didnt begin full production until late 06 early 07 Ford then picked up the concept and ran with it bringing it to a full production line this year. You can google the entire thing and get exact dates and who the original designer was.

YOU ARE SO LUCKY IF YOU HAVE THIS CAR! this is one of the most awsome cars ever and that would be great to own one. it would be like a convertable without the wind screwing up your hair. it would also be really fun to look up when its raining and feel like your outside but really you have an air-conditioned comfort zone. just put in a tv and a bathroom and i'd have a new house! : P____________<3 lil' e

can you say 1954 Skyliner, Ford still looking to its past.
I have owned mine since 1968( my first car )

Joe says (August 19, 2008 at 11:26 am):

Rich: I don't get what your point is? Of course they are looking to the past. That is the whole premise of this car (retro styling cues, modern technology)

Ok, doesnt it kinda defeat the purpuse of a convertable? Well, i guess its a good thing because it has the feel of a convertable but if your going somewhere nice, your hair or somthing wouldn't get messed up... i can't imagine how it must be cleaning bird poop off that! = D its worth it!

:)erin(: says (October 25, 2008 at 8:55 am):

HOLA PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! this is the nicest car since i found out about the camaro...but thats were my heart belongs...the camaro. when i get one i will screem and jump up and down. i would rather have a camaro than a ferrari... thats how much i love them. they are works of art... well, all cars are. exept the ugly minivans and s.u.v.s and some hybrids are ugly... none of fords are though... cuz ford rocks but i think chevrolet beat them with the whole mustang/camaro war. they both rock though... but i gotta give ford there props!

Hey, Kudos to Ford for at least thinking outside of a hard-top! I like the look, a perfect fit in a sunny state (i.e. California). Those mid-westerners can stick to the hard-tops if they're worried about rain, sleet, hail, tornados, etc. If you're worried abut security and burglaries, don't get a Mustang (get a Saturn). My Mustang is only driven on fun, cruzin, outdoor days, I always keep my eye on her. Mustangs should never, NEVER be an everyday auto. If you want an everyday car, get a BMW (like I did).
