Re: Chrysler to Replace '05 Convertible Tops Under TSB - YAHOO!!
Here’s my story...
I bought a 2005 SRT6 Roadster in March of 2012, 37,000 miles. Flew from Chicago to Nashville to pick it up. We were happy as the proverbial pigs in ++**. About two months ago I notice while getting gas that the window was starting to separate from the top. Fortunately I had read the posts on here about the top
I called Chrysler, gave them my VIN #, they said that it was covered and opened up a case file on it . Most of the local dealers do not work on Crossfires, let alone have staff that can replace the top.
I finally ended up at a Chrysler dealer about an hour from home. I gave him the info over the phone. He called me back within two days and asked that I bring the car in so he could take a look at it..
I brought the car in; he took a quick look and said he would call me the next day. He called the next day, said he ordered the top, but unfortunately they are on backorder. He said he couldn’t get a commitment from Chrysler on a firm delivery date.
Outside of the local dealerships not having a clue on what to do I have been very happy with the response from Chrysler as well as the dealer who is going to do the work. I just hope I don't have to wait too long for the backordered top.
I am also, very thankful for this site, had I not known about the 'recall' I would have stopped my inquiries at the local dealer level when told "No there's no warranty coverage for that".
Several regional upholstery shops have given me prices for the top...they start @ $2,600 and can go as high as $3,500...depending on "installation circumstances". Which means “hand over your wallet and we’ll let you know when to send more .
