Besides being wicked cool, the glass pane stops 90% of UV rays and reduces cabin temperature so the A/C doesn’t have to work overtime to keep the vehicle’s interior cool. In fact, according to Ford, the glass’ sun-protection factor is equal to SPF 50 — better than your dermatologist-recommended sunscreen!
Keeping out UV rays serves another purpose, which is protecting the interior from deterioration. The glass top is also engineered to reduce noise and vibration.
The glass roof option is available in the V6 and the 4.6-liter V8 GT, but it will cost you $1,995. A surprising amount of Mustang buyers — roughly 10% — opt for the panoramic glass roof with the manual roller blind.
