There are many ways to customize your 2005-2010 Mustang and the list is long for accessories. Many Mustang enthusiast start with the exterior of their Pony because installing many of the accessories is quite simple and affordable. Installing a set of Window Louvers on your S197 brings back the retro look of the 60's Mustangs and can take less than an hour to install.
Window Louvers attach to your rear quarter glass on your Mustang and in most cases have slotted fins which allow you to see out of your side rear window. Many Mustang owners prefer window louvers over window scoops because they allow you to see through your side rear window.
Having spoken to several Mustang owners with small kids that ride in the back of their Mustang they will tell you that small kids like louvers better because they can they can see all the sites while cruising in the family Mustang.
The vast majority of Mustang Window Louvers on the market attach with adhesive tape. Some people may be skeptical about using adhesive tape to attach a automotive accessory but 3M which makes many of the double sided tapes for the automotive industry makes a great product. The key to securing a good bond with the 3m tape is cleaning the surface properly. Before installing the Window Louvers it is imperative that you clean the surface area where you're going to mount the louvers from all dirt, oil or wax. Soap, water and a alcohol prep wipe will usually do the trick. Clean the area with some soapy water, rinse and let dry. Follow up with the alcohol prep wipe or a cotton ball and some alcohol out of your medicine cabinet will do the job.
Another product that will make for a secure installation is called promoter, not a record promoter but a chemical promoter. Promoter when applied to 3M double sided tape acts like a super glue. Let me warn you about promoter it's very strong and you don't want spill it on your paint. You can pick up a small bottle of promoter at your local auto body paint supply store and the bottle comes with a brush applicator. Here's another point make sure that you install your Mustang Window Louvers in no less than 60 degree temperature. 3M tape does not like cold temperature and a cold surface will not bond well.
After you've cleaned up the area where you want to attach your louvers do a test fit and place your louvers on your side windows to see that everything lines up. Remove the protective film from the 3M tape apply the promoter and place your louvers in the desired area. Make sure you apply even pressure to the edges where the 3M tape is. It's a good idea to not drive your Mustang for several hours while the 3M tape cures, you don't want your louvers flying off your Mustang on the freeway.
