Car was in body shop Monday and assembly line tues, I received these from a connection at the plant yesterday morning, car awaiting glass roof and top stripes and finishing.
We had a Thunderstorm roll through early Tues morning, so it looks like its already gotten rained on Not that that bothers me, just hope the roof doesn't leak like that or that the engine gets water, the heat extractor cover doesn't appear to be on yet.
I should get more pics when finished.
Although it looks like his camera sucks
Cool photos to have for the cars album.

.........................& the finished product..

On a side note, it had 32 miles on it when I bought it. I work at the dealership where I bought it and I don't recall anybody else driving it before me.

That is awesome. That's a great color, and the glass roof contrasts it really well. Good choice

Just to add some more detail... the roof structure to which the glass attaches was indeed engineered specifically for the glass roof model. The component is referred to as the "halo" structure. It was designed to allow the glass panel to sit flush against the existing top surfaces of the car, similar to what was shown on the Mustang fastback concept car back in 2002. It also integrates the the roll shade, as well as provide the necessary strength and rigidity.

The pics posted above show the environmentally-sealed cap used on all glass roof cars at Flatrock, prior to glass installation. They move from the main plant assembly line to the mod center with the cap installed. The mod center is onsite at Flatrock Assembly, about 1/2 to 3/4 mile from the end of the assembly line.

There may be schematics of the halo available in a service parts catalog (replacement body panels?) so you can see what's different. Glad you like the glass roof!

The novelty of the glass roof has not worn off on me yet after 2 years. I'm still loving it.

I wonder if the 2015 will have it?

Like others have said though, its sometimes tough to notice on my darker color unless pointed out or viewed from the inside.

I actually like how it blends in the darker colors. Its adds a bit of a surprise element when people get in and happen to look up.

I wonder if anyone has thought about adding limo tint to it just because its possible lol
