I have a client's car in the shop and we are discussing the finer points of a two man top.

Classtique Upholstery has indicated on their web site that tops '13 to '15 had brass fasteners while later was nickel.

Anyone have any documentation on this matter?

Elizabeth knows what she is talking about! My own opinion is, I don't think Ford paid a lot of attention to the finish of the fasteners like we do today.

Chris-
I believe it kinda follows the brass to nickel trim evolution.
However, I have also seen black fasteners (and eyelets) on cars of that era.

Seems like the change to nickel would have come with the '17 model year, not '16. But I don't really know anything about it.
