Hello,

The scissor mechanism for my convertible hood was getting caught on some lining when lowering and it caused the frame to bend and for a screw to break. I'm trying to find the part number for this screw to order it online.

Here is a link to the service manual for the car: https://www.allcarmanuals.com/factory-service-manual-295-Ford-Mustang-Fifth-Generation.html

I'm looking for the screw that connects parts 26 or 27 (LH/RH side rails) to part 30 (bow), as shown on page 4503.

Hi,

I was unable to download the manual. However, I did attach what I have below. The first pic shows the bolts related to the top. Pic two identifies the bolt and the part number.

Take a look through this and let me know if you see what is needed.

Take care,

Joe

See pics below.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it is none of these bolts.
I had trouble downloading the manual at first but if you go to the link, hit "Click Here to View Download Link," and then right click/two-finger click on the link and "Save Target/Link As", it should download to your computer!

I have attached a screenshot from the manual of the part I am looking for. It's the bolts that connect to 30 from 26/27.

Here is a second shot showing the parts list. You'll notice that one potential candidate for the bolt is #35, but unfortunately there's no part number...

Hi,

I went through everything I could find. There is nothing listed for the bow pivot bolt part number. By chance, do you have a pic of what came off the top?

Let me know.
