So I am going to window weld mine back in. Should be a lot easier than replacing the top!
Also just so everybody knows, Chrysler has a central database the service guy can access that has all the warranty work done to your crossfire stored, no matter who owned it and where it was done. Just call and ask them for the info. They can also print out a build sheet if you do not have your original window sticker.
This assumes you believe what the dealer told you with regard to the top, others have had their top replaced since that time. I would try another dealer, you most likely will not get it fixed as Wisconsin is not in a specified State for replacement. Who gets it fixed though seems quite arbitrary at times though.
Also somewhere it is stated that the Monroney window sticker printout expires some five? years after the car is sold, which is a pity as many would have got this.
The warranty work is kept on file as is the service work done by dealers. It also will state what work was suggested and if it was done or not. All this comes in handy if they can use it to refuse to do warranty work.
You can still get a build sheet though I believe.
