Questions:
The release button popped out of my covertable top latch handle. The Crossfire "Certified" technician @ Ontario (CA.) JCD is telling me that the 2005 latch handle part number has been "superceded" and the new repacement latch handle would also require replacement of the windshield header latches - True ???
Other than taking a given dealers service managers word for it that his mechanic is indeed Crossfire certified (completed Daimler/Chrysler/Crossfire course), what's the least confrontational means of verifying that the mechanic assigned is indeed CERTIFIED ?

From what I can tell in my database the latch repair kits from before 10/13/04 have infact been superceded, possibly with a new kit that does include the windshield latches as well (I do not know the specifics on that).
However, these part numbers may be something for you to look into:
Left latch HEADER: 05143015AA
Right latch HEADER: 05143016AA
Possibly what you are looking for I do not know exactly.
As far as checking if the technician is in fact certified to work on Crossfires, which is a perfectly reasonable request considering the cost and collectability of these vehicles, is to simply ask to see certification paperwork or verification of certification. (that's a lot of 'ations' lol)
Hope this helps again.
