However, Chrysler is only going to reimburse the installer for 1.5 hours of labor, non-negotiable per the TSB. Therefore any responsible installer is going to say no way they will do the work for what amounts to, per Chrysler, $85 when the installer should be paid around $300.
Just a heads up.
The good folks that installed my new top said that they will do no more Crossfires under X31.
Good information kane thanks for the heads up. I just got home from a 3 week trip and found a letter from Chrysler saying our 05 SRT was included in the extended warranty program and to take the letter to a dealer . Looks like Chrysler is notifing owners that have vin#'s that qualify.
