On our 3/21/02 Wixom tour, we were pleased to whitness a few 2003 T-Birds being produced that day. Dave Davis, our tour guide, pointed these cars out but did not discuss the modifications. I did notice one change on two, Robin Egg Blue, Birds. The last seven digits on the vin of these cars were 1000002 & 3. The 2003 Birds will now have about a 1 1/2" wide chrome trim piece on the rear deck where the soft top enters the body. Since I don't have my Bird yet, it's only an educated guess, but I believe this trim will also protect the paint when the hard top is installed. I asked one person on the assemby line, what changes were needed to install this strip? He said only two holes had to be drilled for this strip to be installed. If that is the case, any 2002 Bird could be retrofitted with this much needed improvement. I anticipate a lot of orders for this part when it becomes available, mine or one.
