When you drive with the top down do you leave the aircondition on or off ?

Gobird, what are you trying to air condition the whole state of PA?

That would be nice but I do like the warm weather, we only get it for about 5 month out of the year.
It could be worse, if I got called back to work, on a 90 degree day it is 100 inside the shop.

Here in Texas (D/FW), If the suns up, it's hot. But if you aim your vents just right, the A/C on high will provide a nice "cool" breeze at less than highway speeds. Every little bit helps.

http://www.amerigon.com/default.htm is coming out with a system which installed into seats and provides BOTH heating and cooling. Yes - that's right - COOLING too (via conduction). This won't be ready for a few months (as an aftermarket accessory, but I DEFINATELY plan to wait for this vary interesting device.

That is what I do but like Godirds wife some people say I am wasting it. I think it is grate when you are stoped for a light . I Just wanted to know if I was the only one with top down air on.

jboriott,
It looks like a great idea , but i fear not for us. The system appears to be a replacement seat as opposed to add-on. Our seats have the side air-bags built into the outboard side of the seat. I doubt the replacement seat would have this safety feature incorporated and if it did I think the eventual price of the seat(s) would be cost prohibitive.

Take it when you can get it!

It depends on how hot or humid it is. At night I've had to put the defroster on because the windows were fogging up. I've also put the heater on with the top down. My husband doesn't fit real well with the top on so we usually drive topless.

I assume you mean the car..not you and your husband are topless??
I bought a WindBaffle to use on my Mustang convertible and wondered if anyone has tried one on a T-bird (I see they list the T-bird on their web site).
This is a Plexiglas panel that fits behind the seats (the Mustang's hooks onto the headrests) and cuts the back flow of air. We've used it with the Mustang on cool spring nights and with this in place and with the windows up and the heat on low we were actually hot. Looks like it would work the same with the AC.

fdthird,.... Do you have a web site for the seller of the WindBaffle? Here in Alaska we run the top down when it is warm - above 55 - and put the heater on to help take the chill off our backs.

Checked with my service rep. Said it was OK to use the air conditioner with the top down. "It is not as efficent but, it will not harm anything."

www.windbaffle.com is the web site for Wind Baffle.
We advertise them here at WABC Radio from time to time and I decided to give them a call and give it a try. The one for the Mustang also comes with a winter panel that comes down between the buckets to provide even more coverage. The top goes up and down fine with it in place and as I said, on a cool spring night it made the topless ride a lot more comfortable.
Don't know anything about the T-bird version but did see it mentioned on the web site.
Happy 4th to all...hope you all have the kind of weather for Topless Motoring! It’s going to be around 100 here in NY so we will definitely be running the AC!
Enjoy

Just talked with a friend who bought a 2003 Ford Expedition. It has factory installed air conditioned/heated seats. They have used them and say it is great!!
