I'm afraid when I drive it with the top down it may or may not go back up because the car is so old (i bought it used). How long do those motors last? If it goes, can I put the top up manually and how much would it cost to fix the motor?
Also, the top has two rips in the back by the back window where the top goes down, how much to repair or replace the top?

look on ebay for the top, and most times you can put the tops up even when the motors go bad,

if the motor quits( the motor is actually an air pump that compresses air to raise or lower the cylinders attached to the top) you'll have to unhook the air lines to lower or raise the top. New tops on ebay seem to run around 180.00 or so but be sure and check to see what it's gonna cost to have it installed as it's not an easy task.

The top is going to be more then the motor but if it goes out you should be able to do it by hand.

Well, I have no idea but congratulations on the car, 'cause I love it.
I'd say keep using it and when it fails then go get a new top that works manually, I'm sure they can make one.

Use it and enjoy. If it breaks, then it breaks. If you can afford it, go ahead and get the top fixed. either that or trade it and get a newer Mustang GT convertible. Good luck.
