A direct-fit nut set designed to secure the convertible top weatherstrip on classic Mustangs. Specifically made for 1964–1968 Ford Mustang convertibles, this set replaces worn or missing fasteners that hold the header and perimeter weatherstrip in place, restoring a tight, weatherproof seal. Durable, corrosion-resistant construction provides long-term reliability and makes installation fast and straightforward during restorations or routine maintenance.
Features:
- Fits 1964–1968 Ford Mustang Convertible models.
- Corrosion-resistant metal for long service life in exterior mounting locations.
- Replaces lost or damaged nuts that secure the convertible top weatherstrip and header trim.
- Helps restore a tight, weatherproof seal to reduce wind noise and water intrusion.
- Easy to install with basic hand tools — ideal for restoration and maintenance projects.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30-60 minutes
Instructions:
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and lower the convertible top (if possible) to access weatherstrip fasteners.
- Locate and remove any trim or clips that obstruct access to the weatherstrip nut locations.
- If existing nuts are corroded, apply rust penetrant and allow it to soak before removal.
- Remove the old nuts from the studs and clean the studs and surrounding area with a rag; remove old sealant or debris.
- Position the weatherstrip correctly along the header and body flange so all studs align with nut holes.
- Hand-thread the new nuts onto the studs to ensure correct engagement and alignment.
- Tighten the nuts evenly with a socket or wrench until snug. Avoid over-tightening to prevent crushing the weatherstrip or stripping threads.
- Reinstall any removed trim or clips, and operate the convertible top through a few cycles to verify fit and seal.
- Inspect for gaps, wind noise, or water leaks and retighten or adjust as needed. Apply a small amount of anti-seize or thread locker if desired for future serviceability.
