Re: Chrysler to Replace '05 Convertible Tops Under TSB - YAHOO!!
Well I spoke to the dealer today.. which forward me over to the upholstery shop and they informed me that the rear window will be repaired for no cost. He explained that he will remove the top this afternoon and clean the surface of the window and top. Then he will use some new thing that will bond the top permanently to the window. Something about the same type of material that is used to secure the front windshields in car/trucks . He also said that this new technique is a add on to new tops that are being replace for a extra $200 charge. He guarantees the repair for as long as the car is registered. Anyways.. back to the repair.. once he removes and cleans everything up he will apply the "glue" and put it in a "press" for 36 to 48 hours to cure. Once its fully cure it will be reinstalled and ready for pick up. He also informed me that in the current state... my top should last another 2 to 3 yrs until it needs to be replaced. He quoted me a price of $1700 for a new top installed. Hopefully its all good and I can put this behind me and start enjoying the car again.
