Very upsetting to read about all the problems with the separation, since we also own a 2008 roadster (19,000km).
I contacted Chrysler Canada, but they said there are no bulletins, or issues noted by them.
I don't mind trying to glue the top if there has been good success with the repair for several years. Can anyone speak to the longevity of their repairs?
Thanks in advance,
Regards, Darlene
Hi Darlene, welcome to the forum! The two members (below) are just a couple of the many members who have a consistent record of detailed help. We all hope you can find the parts and skills to fix it yourself as repairing these cars can be quite tedious and expensive. Good luck, but most of all have fun!

I think Chrysler Canada stinks, they are avoiding any bit of trouble that they can, Chrysler dealers are the pits as well. I had four of their products in a row as my wife worked at a Chrysler dealership and the repairs were cheap, even oil changes were not worth doing myself. Had I to pay full price for the labor I would not have had those cars. I do not count the Crossfire as one of the four Chrysler cars.
I will never buy a Chrysler product again, I have in sequence gone through Ford, GM and Chrysler. I am now on to Hyundai, though I am not too impressed with the dealer I purchased the car from but that is easily fixed, hopefully.
No wonder there are so many cars made by foreign owned companies on the roads these days, the big three has only itself to blame.
With regard to the Crossfire I can see why the 'new' Chrysler Corporation does not want anything to do with these cars, it is really just the old name and factories with new owners, despite the money Joe Public poured into it. I think that the warranty on all of the cars have now lapsed, I doubt that a top on a 2008 Corvette is still under a guarantee, nothing lasts forever.
Well said! I see the Chrysler division being 'dumped' by Fiat, soon. Not taking bets, just have this feeling they are not going to last long under the Fiat corporation name.

Mine was repaired a year ago and still holding fine. In my signature click on the red text that says Top Repair if you haven't seen the video yet. If you go to Amazon for the window weld.. it will have the primer in the "frequently bought together" suggestions there. Good luck..and just plan on taking your time!
Right on, I just wish I took the time to centralize all the post(s) .pdf(s) I have downloaded over the years. The way my filing skills are (and the many hard drives I have scattered about), it's a wonder I can find anything. Hmmm, if I remember, DR Phil did a special on people like me (no, I'm not telling which one!).
