Saw this picture and I was wondering what everyone else does and/or what is the FORD recommended method? I tighten the strap on first and then put the dust cover on.

Don't use the strap. With five hardtops, only one came with the strap.T-Birding it's the only way to fly!

Same as shown in the photo. Prefer having the strap directly against the cover.Bird is the word.....

I really don’t think that the strap does much of anything. My top is stored on the car.Comment

To my way of thinking the strap insures that if the cart with the top on it should for whatever reason start to tip over it all is going over. Yikes!Mike

I have a universal cart from my old Mercedes S L and it is much better than the Ford cart. The dealer I bought my car from lost the T bird cart and gave me a discount for it.
I have seen My cart on web sites but don't recall the Co. but they are around $100. very stable and easy to move. No strap needed.Comment

Funny, never saw this cart advertised as a Bird accessory Bought more than one for storing Cadillac Allante tops when the advertising said they were a Mercedes product. Yes need bolted together ( a10 minute job) and they don't look like they will hold a thing but actually quite sturdy. Guessing they will hold a Bird top just fine. Please don't buy guys 'til someone says they have one and can attest to their ability.Bill Coates-Canfield, Ohio
