I get around the problem by only washing the car twice a year!

 

When my xfire went into the dealers here in the UK for its 10k service they replaced them under warranty. Might be worth asking, depends on your dealer - they pointed it out to me.

Mark,

Sorry pal, afraid its a Brit thing!!

Salt... mine were fine till the first time I went out on gritted roads. Literally turned white before my eyes, noticed as soon as I washed it that weekend.

Common fault apparently. If the crossy still under warranty, pop back to dealers and get them to order a new set. Silicone bead round the rear edge when you fit them back or bin them and get snazzy set as advertised on this site.

Annoying I know, little thing but really pisses you off!!!

There is a product available here in the US in all hardware stores that is called SIMPLE GREEN....it is a completely natural de-greaser with no corrosives.....you can use it full strength on your wheels and it will not harm plastics. Diluted, it makes a great household cleaner for counter tops etc.....buy it by the gallon and put it in your own spray bottle and it lasts so long, you'll forget where you bought the last one...

 

Today I had mine replaced under warranty, 2 cars on the forecourt also had problems with theirs. But as I said before I had to wait 15 days for them to arrive.

 

Would you like some custom Crossfire Emblems? See my gallery!

 

Called my dealer (chrysler) and talked to jeff the service director. He put them on order while I was on the phone got a p.o. number and should see them soon. all under warranty.. I'm not going to put them on just hold on to them just incase.. if you have bumper to bumper it doesn't fall under normal wear and tear. call your dealer...

 

Mr. root who cuts your emblems?

 

Good to hear they can be replaced for free. Now lets hope my dealer will do the same without giving me the runaround.

 

here are some on ebay for sale...

The emblems were cut here at a local shop and are cut on the back as to not wear at all! See my gallery or email me at: Danielcroot@aol.com

 

Been to the dealer today who have got a new set on order under warranty. At last they have done something for nothing.

When I said, I needed them for when I sell the car he said, "what you thinking of getting next" I said, "not another Chrysler" then he went a bit quiet.
