Default 2009 mustang

Heard there going to be offering a glass roof option for the 2009 mustangs starting this coming summer.

cheaper than a converible but still has the versiatilty of a coupe.

word....but supposedly they are tinting the glass and adding a vinyl layer on top to prevent fading

Why wouldn't it work?
Mustang’s Glass Roof is made of tinted privacy glass, which reduces both infrared rays and vehicle cool-down time by 50 percent. A manual roller blind is built in, allowing owners to further control exposure on sunny days.
BTW: The roof would have to be DOT approved, so if it becomes an option, then it has passed the safety tests.

I see a big security problem, thieves will be busting into cars since they will be able to see more of whats in ones car as well. Its a neat idea for sure, but see alot of problems with it.

The glass is tinted-privacy glass.

I have mixed feelings about it. I think it's kind of cool, but on the other hand I'm not sure I like it for some of the reasons people mentioned....mainly the security issue. I can't imagine how expensive it would be to fix if some *** hat decided to bust it.

hell the aftermarket had it out thanksgiving of 05. i remember seeing it at the big ford swap meet in columbus ohio.

its safety glass, it'll just crumple anyway. and i dont know about new mustangs, but the roof skin on my car is flimsy as hell, so its not offering any help anyway. theres just as much of a chance that it would wrap around my arm as it would keep it in the car. no more dangerous then ttop foxbodies either...
