my Crossfire is a 2006, and the rear window just started to come loose in one corner. I went to my Chrysler dealer in Hardeeville, SC to show them the problem. She said, replace it but when I asked if a new top was made better from the original, she said it probably was the same construction and method of installing the window and that it would probably do the same thing again in several years. She quoted about 3000.00 including installation. But she added that I might want to try to glue the window in myself. I've been reading all these convertible top horror stories for several years now but can anyone tell me if gluing the window is the answer and will a replacement top fit as well as the original? Also, the original top is black and promotes a lot of heat here in the south. Are lighter colors available and if so, where, because Chrysler, at least my dealer, appeared as not very interested in a model that is no longer in production. Any suggestions or names of places would be appreciated.

 

Virtually all of the original equip. tops will have window detachment, regardless of model year. Our new top was purchased and installed by a reputable auto upholstery shop. I think top came from "GAHH", window bond warranty as long as we own it. If your car was first delivered to S. Carolina, that is one of the nine covered States (10year/100,000mi.) Even though it is not an '05, complain online at safercar.gov and to Chrysler Group and FTC.gov (unfair business practice). Good Luck, this is winnable in small claims court if presented correctly.

 

They are the process of replacing mine under warranty 2005 with 41,000 miles on it. I live in Indiana at first there was some lip talk but if you know the Home | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Service bulletin TSB 23-035-11A recall they should take care of it if you have less than 100,000 miles on it.
