Driver Controls Movement of the removable top requires at least two people. The removable top weighs approximately 38 kg (84 lb). Also, due to its shape, the weight is biased to the rear of the removable top. Your vehicle must be turned OFF and placed in PARK on a level surface prior to installing or removing the top. Before installing the removable top, unsnap and properly store the convertible top tonneau cover. Refer to Installation of the tonneau cover in the Convertible section. Also, thoroughly dry the convertible top and then lower. Open the doors, lower the windows, and clean the area where the removable top mounts on the body. Note: Before installing the removable top, apply the protective tape to the rear deck of the vehicle, refer to the Quick Reference Guide for instructions. 1. Remove the protective cover from the top. Using a mild detergent, clean the weather-strips on the top before installing it on the vehicle. 2. Ensure that the removable top levers are rotated rearward to the fully open position. Lock the wheels on the storage cart, loosen the restraining straps on the cart, and with the help of at least another person remove the top from the cart. Once per year, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant, F5AZ-19553-AA, to the receivers as shown. The lubricant should be sprayed directly into the hole to avoid contaminating the trim parts. 50 2003 Thunderbird (tbr) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
