A tip for anyone that might have a problem with the new Crossfire Convertible top not wanting to go down.

This occured several times for both myself and my wife before I took in back to the Chrysler dealer. They at first thought it was the partition lid not hooking into the clips tightly in the trunk. They messed with it one day and gae it back to me working again.

I took it and the next day it messed up again. No matter what we did or any combination you might think of trying to get it to work.

Second trip to Chrysler. They said the computer wasn't working correctly and wouldn't allow the top to go down while the windows were already down. This made no sense and I told them to either fix it or keep it!

After erasing all the momory errors in the computer that operates the top, it still malfunctioned so they ordered a new one from back east. After installing it the problem still persisted. In the final anaylsis it was a switch located in the front area of the top where the Release handle is at near the rear view mirror. After they took it apart and adjusted that switch then it worked correctly -finally.

Conclusion! If your top don't work, have then check the lock/unlock switch located in the top header near the twist handle.

I have a feeling that the way it SLAMS shut so hard opening and closing the top front piece that the vinbration is causing that switch to get out of alignment. Just my opinion.

Solution MAYBE, open and close the front half SOFTLY using both hands, not just one!

Maybe this will help one of you and avoid some of the delays and frustration I just went through.
