Bought mine Friday, noticed the line Saturday. I was happy thinking it was another centerline styling cue.

2005 LTD, 73,000 miles

 

WELL ADD ME TO THE LIST TOO 2007 (SPEACIAL EDITION) WITH ALOT OF MILES.

 

Please add me to this list as my roadster had an identical mark on the canvas roof, i'm also concerned that it will wear through and start leaking.

Gunsofthenavarrone 2005 ltd rdstr

 

Add me to the list. I know what the problem is. It's not caused by the top going down. There is nothing rubbing along it either. The problem occurs when the top goes up. The canvas "creases" as it starts to go up. Have someone else hold the switch to put up the top and watch the top come up. You will see it "crease" in that one spot as it comes up. I watched it happen yesterday as I was trying to figure out the problem. I assume it will eventually wear out the fabric and fail requiring an new top.

 

I have two roadsters and do not have the crease wear problem. I use a product called Waxoyl on my fabric tops. Not designed for it but it strengthens fabric and waterproofs. I use it on leather too.It stops corrosion elsewhere. google it. gary

 

I use the Autoglym kit twice per year. Mine's an '06 and I don't have a problem either. This may be due to the fact that I live in the UK and opportunities to put the top down are fewer than elsewhere lol!

 

Time for an updated list - just noticed that mine has it when I was coming out of work and the sun caught it just right - '05 with 45k miles.

That is great if you speak German...but I don't!

 

Given my mileage is at 66684 (under the 70k), I seem to have a WW fluid leak, and the upper windshield trim whistles while the car works, I decided it was time to take the car in about the top as well.

They are full with appointments through Saturday and I'm leaving that morning for RME of CAA, so I stopped by to lodge the issues and set up an appointment for the 1st of Aug and made them record the mileage on the service call.

For now the rep said they will have to take a picture of the area when I come in that day and send it off to Chrysler to see what they say. So begins the drawn out denial process I'm sure. I'll post as I have updates.

Until then I have to hope the bug population in Kansas decides to bed down or was killed by the heat; plus put some rainx type stuff on the windshield to help the buildup (riiight)

 

I have an opinion that this canvas top fault is caused by keeping the top down for prolonged periods of time. I began noticing this defect in my top earlier this summer when I had the top down quite a bit. I'd pull in and leave the top down for several hours because I was going to leave again. When I began noticing it, I started putting the top back up as soon as I got home....It's hardly noticeable now...
