Yea, sure, call your local Chrysler dealer and tell them you want a free new top for your fifteen year old Crossfire. But, LET ME LISTEN IN TO THAT CALL!
I got a new top from BAS in the UK, delivered to Texas for around $710. Them some guys put it on for me in a condo parking lot at the "Crossfire fun in the Ozarks" meet a month ago........



You can do it yourself, I watched these guys replace it and frankly, I'd not be afraid to do it myself next time.

The new tops from BAS International come with the glass already installed
Many here have bought them and had them installed


BAS International has been supplying tops for several years
There have been many group buys arranged by several here and on Facebook

The most recent group buy was arranged with this well known company BAS International back in June.
They are made to order with a lifetime warranty.
You don't have to pay for it until it's completed.
$625 plus shipping around $100 for the US.
Just email Becky :
Becky@bas-international.com

Lifetime warranty on the glass not falling out, not the entire top.

for anyone in the Florida area, I do EZ on Tops for $1350 installed with new stay pads. Lifetime for the rear window and 3 year on the entire top when installed by a certified installer.

$2000? Damn, dealers charge $1800-2300 and we all know they are ripping us off - that's why we avoid them.

I'd not have the GUTS to charge someone that much for a job that takes less than two hours.

cost on the top at a dealer without labor is $2250. that comes with no hardware as well. after stay pads and labor it's around $2900 installed.
