Sensors for lane keeping assist, collision detection, etc is what usually lives up there.

Lever on steering column but what’s the blue dot? “Inspected by 4237”? Lol

Would it be possible to remove all that?

Round steering wheel. Very nostalgic.

I wonder how the side window will function. If as previously suggested, there is no integral door frame around the window, then the window will need to seal by having the edges press inward against rubber seals on the body/rollcage structure. In the above photo the camo is getting in the way of seeing exactly how this will be accomplished.

It’ll likely be an auto up/down half an inch to clear the seal whenever you move the door handle, like most modern convertibles

Or like the old Camaros, El Caminos, etc...it just works.

Theoretically, you could remove and unplug the module. Might leave an ugly bracket behind, and would probably give you some warnings on the dash though.

Generally the safety systems are upgrade packages so if you don't have them there may be a different trim in that area, tbd.

Interesting, I haven't seen that approach in action. It would be a way to get a better seal, by having the window slip into a groove. Although, what happens with a dead battery, can you get out of the vehicle? Hopefully the battery always has a bit of juice left to activate the window.

On our tbird you can still open the door, there’s enough flex for the window to pop out the seal without breaking or messing anything up

Speaking from experience with my corvette which has the 'indexing' windows, when the battery is completely dead/disconnected it can't roll down, so you have to pull the door a bit harder and the glass slides out of the rubber upper trim. Not a huge deal

The only thing I don’t like about the interior so far is that I am not in it.

Just go open the door on any 2005+ Mustang. They all have this feature

And as others had said, with a dead battery, you just gotta pull a bit harder but there's enough flex that it doesn't break anything

On the subject of this interior though...

I like what I'm seeing, other than that automatic shifter. It still makes me uneasy that we haven't gotten any official word on a manual

Also, guess that's a solid "no" for a bench seat/floor mounted shifter option *sigh*
