Whhitewall Cleaner
Anyone have any recommendations for product that works well for cleaning and protecting whitewall tires? I was using Detail Pro Whitewall Wipes for years and this product was easy to use and effective. Unfortunately, no longer available. Thanks.

Converetible Limit Switch Locations
I am attempting to clean all of the limit switches. I have located the deck lid released, top up and flipper rotary switches. I can't locate the convertible top down, deck lid up, deck lid down switches. The convertible trouble shooting manual indicates these are located next to the deck lid hinges ...

Fuse Block - 1962
Can someone please post a photo or a schematic of the fuse block and a list of the fuses for a '62? The backup lights are out. I suspect wither a blown fuse or a problem with the gear shift linkage in the steering column - I'd like to know which fuse I have to go after :). Thank you !!

Re: Package Tray (Flipper) Motor
Spoke to John at T Bird Ranch. He has developed an "amped up" tray motor - 1/2 HP in the small footprint. Requires relay add (to change polarity) and minor mod to mounting on gear box. I'll let you know what happens after the swap out. Thanks for the lead.

Package Tray (Flipper) Motor
My '62 has an intermittent flipper motor. Sometimes flipper panel goes all the way vertical, but most of the time, it gets hung up about mid way. Works OK on retract cycle buy of course, no load. Relay, limit switches, transmission gear OK. I have contacted EVERY TBird parts house and learned: (1) c...

Re: First hand experience with this "reproduction" AM/FM radio
If the original AM radio is working, another less expensive option would be the addition of a RediRad (https://redirad.com/). This device converts the AM radio to accept input from anything that accepts a 1/8" mini-jack (for example, a phone or MP3 player). It works like the old FM converters -...

Antenna
Does the mast unscrew on 61-63? I've attempted to unscrew it turning it by hand and can't. I don't want to risk using a tool and snapping it off. Thanks.

Convertible - Deck Lid Dowsn't Go Fully Down
Greetings. Just took delivery of a '62 convertible. Overall, the mechanism is working fine (flipper lid needs an occasional assist on the "up" cycle). On the close cycle, deck lid stops about 1/8" above package tray (both sides). I tried to lower the deck lid limit switch, but it's al...
