At this point we have no idea what the criteria are to determine who's in and who's out. I was told mine is not included and the last 8 digits of my VIN are 5X026284.

If Kane could tell us the last 8 of his VIN and other folks as they call could report back, perhaps we could discern the patter of which ones are acceptable and which ones are not.

My VIN is good - 5X049694

Does that mean the build number is 49,694?

Here's our tally so far:

VIN Original Owner Still in Warranty X31 Approved
5X026284 No No No
5X049694 No No Yes


As the rest of you phone in please post the outcome so we can update this chart. With a little luck maybe we can figure this out.

It might matter, Kid, that my 5X049694 has Chrysler's Fidelity Platinum extended 3 year warranty, essentially extending the B2B warranty to 60/60,000.

My guess is having an extended B2B warranty in place will be the key for again extending the X31 warranty on the top to 120/100,000.

Please adjust your chart to No/Yes/Yes.

And it most likely won't if you are not living in the hot climates and the car is always garaged and or covered. It is my understanding heat and UV are the two culprits here. We all know how hot a closed car with a black roof in direct sunlight can get, especially when ambient is 100F+. I'm not worried about it, it rarely gets above 85F in Vermont anyway.

It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings. If I had to guess I'd say it is the extended warranty that makes the difference....

I just emailed them, mentioned the "X31" and we'll see. 2nd owner, original warranty transferred and have a MaxCare 7/70K.

I see that another thread has been opened "FANTASTIC NEWS" and an '05 top is being replaced for a second owner without any extended warranty in place.

Go figure.

Do you have any documentation to show us your 2004 Roadster? Window sticker? Build #? MDH #? Thanx.

Must have - I'm driving one I just glanced at the first page of Autotrader and 4 came up for sale - unfortunately not for enough money . I have seen a 2003 Coupe for sale but that might have been an error.

I just got off the phone with Chrysler customer assistance, and was told that my 2005 SRT roadster (vin # 5X055712) is covered under "X31/adhesion" because I had purchased a MaxCare contract from them on 3/8/2010. The representative told me that all I need do is, call my dealer (who is great) and inform them that the X31 extension warranty is now attached to my vin #, and request the top replacement, and they should take it from there.
The rep did state at first, that my Vin # was not qualified, but she had first looked under "recall" notices, and after a couple more questions, she clicked on a "linky" on the screen (evidently not under "recall") and the X31 warranty extension came up. So, if you were refused at first, try again, and make sure they don't look it up under "recall". Good luck ........
