Hello,

There is a new rear window TSB out. The TSB is # 23-035-11 rev A. It is basically the same as the original one which replaces any 2005 roadster with the top separating from the rear window. The main difference is that in includes all states in the US. The TSB is the same number followed by a "REV A". I took my car in...I have 28000 miles on it....they took pictures of the rear window separating...in four corners...got approval in a week and had it installed by a third party interior and top shop. They did an excellent job...looks great...and I am now once again a happy owner.
There was no cost to me and it has a 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty. Having it installed by a third party top shop that knows what there doing made all the difference. By the way...I do not have an extended warranty on the car...just the original 3/36 BtoB with a 7/70 power train warranty.

I wrote 4 letters to Chrysler and one to the National Safety Board before I got their attention...and finally made it happen after the new TSB. I live in Pennsylvania. The top is the original material top...but has a border around the inside if the window...I believe for better reinforcement and better high temp glue....but that's just my opinion. The new top came with the TSB which also contained detailed installation instructions as part of the TSB. They are for Chrysler techs to follow and install it. I was lucky in that my dealer agreed with me and sent it out to a local shop that does all their top and interior custom work for them. They were excellent. I was really concerned about the install...but was glad that they decided to send it out. I do not know if this new top addresses the "folds issue" that many have reported with creases forming in the fabric. I guess time will tell.

Good luck to all owners!!!! Let me know how your replacement efforts go.

Ben
