Glass separating from top...1100 miles over factory
Ok, so about 2 weeks ago I noticed a leaf was in between the convertible top and the glass itself and saw the glass had separated from the top. No good, but I was told from when I bought my car that the extended warranty I purchased was "bumper-to-bumper" (which it isn't). Well I was told at my local Chrysler that the top isn't covered in the extended and that the whole top needs to be replaced and there's nothing they can do about it since I'm over the mileage. I was told at the dealer that the amount of glass that has separated couldn't have happened in the last 1100 miles, it was really a matter that I didn't catch it in time.
They did tell me to call Customer Care to plea my case to them since I'm still under the time of the factory warranty but not that much over the mileage to maybe see if they would grant me as a special case and take care of it. Well, apparently they won't cover 100% of the cost of the replacement which I think is total bullshit since it's absurd that the whole top needs to be replaced just for a faulty window sealant. I was also told by the Asst. Service manager that Chrysler knows about this issue and has re-designed the top so that it doesn't happen again.
So, if they've re-designed the top, then they're pretty much admitting that the original tops were flawed but don't want to send out a TSB because the tops are about $1,600-$1,700. Chrysler will just take their chances.
I know I'm complaining but I don't feel that I need to fork over any money for something that's defective from the factory, especially since the window cannot be resealed to the top. So, I want to know who on here is out of their factory warranty and has had this problem because I want to bring it up to my mom's lawyer or my friends who are lawyers about the possibility of a class action lawsuit for this baloney, if there are enough cases. My local dealer has 2 people waiting for tops and I know some others on here have had the issue but I'm assuming they've been taken care of by their factory warranties.
PM me if you've fall in this category as I want to gather information otherwise feel free to post
