Default rear glass seal broken

Hello guys,

It's been awhile. The car's been going great. Just gave her the first oil change since I've owned her. Wow, 8.5 quarts at $6.50/qt plus a $20 Daimler oil filter makes for an expensive oil change, but definitely worth it for this sexy little beast! I noticed this past weekend while on the interstate, with the top up, a little rattle of sorts coming from the rear area of the top. I assumed the rear latch hadn't closed all the way or was misaligned. After I parked the car, I noticed that in fact the actual rear glass had separated from top fabric. It appears that whatever bonding agent or seal has broken and about 30% of the total seal is gone. First, has anyone had this problem on here? The car is an 05 and I feel the top shouldn't even begin to see problems like this... very odd! I think our HOT temperatures and humidity are a factor as the car is kept clean and appears to have been maintained thoroughly throughout its short life. I have a Chrysler Service Contract and will bring it to the dealer hopefully tomorrow morning, just pissed about it. I suppose the $100 deductible is a lot better than the $1400+ cost of the top itself...

Anyways, I'll keep you guys posted.

Thanks,
Steven
