| Mylar Tape Kit: in T-birds
from March 2002 to December 2003 - see 2004 for updated kit - This kit
is to help protect the rear deck from abrasion from the hardtop. |
This is a direct quote from Ford's 03 Car Source book,
update
December 2002:
"Customers who purchased a Thunderbird with a removable top
need to install the protective Mylar® tape strips to the
vehicle prior to installing the removable top. This needs to be done
each time before the top is installed. The tape strips are located
in the trunk and the instruction card is packaged with the owner's guide
in the glove compartment. Have your customers refer to the instruction
card for completed step-by-step instructions on how to properly install
the protective tape strips."

Comparison of design between old strips and new strips. The strips
are clear - you see the protective backing on the strips. |
The new kit being supplied with 04s built from January 2004.
There should be no mistake that this belongs with the car for a purpose. |
This is what the contents of the kit look like when first opened. |

Comments for owners: Still does not look good on the car,
particularly the dark colors. I've seen a set installed and the edges
show, and bubbles were still difficult to remove even after following directions
carefully. |
