Cool Re: Headlamp cover issues?

If it is moisture on the inside of the lens there is a TSB for this issue, and should be fixed under warranty. The fix is a vent kit that is added to the existing headlamp, the vents are adjusted and made larger.

Everything must have to do with the size of the dealer. I have read a lot from the forum that parts/service and experience are terrible for the crossfire, but I have had nothing but A+ results.
I am in Wichita, Davis Moore is the primary dealer here, I took my 2004 coupe in for its first check up, I mentioned that my dome light did not always work, my Infinity stereo sometimes would loose its settings and my drivers side headlight showed some hazing...my service rep called me back to let me know that he has ordered all the parts needed for the light, stereo and headlight ...and would all be under "Warranty".

My '04 had hazy headlight covers when I brought it home a couple days ago. I went to the local Autozone and purchased Meguiar's Plastx clear plastic polish and applied as directed. Seems to have worked like a charm. They sparkle like brand new.

I also removed the horrible dealership sticker they put on it. Evil. Fortunately, it hadn't been on long so it came off easily. And that license plate frame. Yuck.

The headlamp lenses do have a "protective" coating over them and mine have a very fine "peal" that looks like it must have started at the top crease (a couple of inches down from the very top of the lens} and worked it's way out from there. the lenses are not yellowing but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for this, short of purchasing new lamp assemblies.

Are you the first owner? If not the previous owner may have put on those thin clear plastic sheets to protect the lens and it is peeling off.

I tried the McGuiars plastic cleaner... it worked for about a week. Then Chrysler installed vent kits... the headlights started to fog up all the time. The last day of my bumper to bumper warranty I went in and convinced them to order me new headlights. Then they scratched the hell out of my bumper when they replaced the left headlight... had to send the car to the body shop for repairs. Sheeesh. Anyway, the scratches are fixed and I love my nice clear headlights.
