Hello to all!
My 2005 Chrysler crossfire convertible top is coming unglued at the bottom and sides of the windshield. I can’t seem to find anyone who wants to re-glue the top. They just want to replace it of course. I would appreciate any recommendations or advice that you can give regarding this issue. I did have the top replaced about 10 years ago under a Chrysler recall. The business that performed that replacement only wants to replace it with a new top. I would repair it myself, but it appears that the top has shrunk and I do not have the tools to stretch it over the glass.


Thank you for your help!
Jeff

 

From the looks of it, it should be replaced, not just the window but the wear. If that leaks and water gets in your trunk area, you will have more problems.

 

thank you I appreciate your comment.

 

If you have comprehensive insurance it may be covered ... I got a new top with window, installed at the place of my choice, at NO cost too me ... it was covered under the Comprehensive coverage ... it's worth checking with your insurance company

 

Its time for a top. BAS in the UK will deliver a new top to your door for around $800. Most shops will charge up to $1500 to put it on, which is absolutely dishonest.
At the Eureka Springs meet, I was told to bring my new top, two guys put it on in a condo parking lot before breakfast one morning. Took 90 minutes. $330 seems like a decent price, but not $1500.



Zachary Joslyn (Mr Peabody here on the forum) can do it for you, he lives just south of you. He'd not charge all that much, highly recommended, as he was one of the guys who did mine (Gray shirt on the right in the photo).
It will probably cost a total of $1000 or $1100 for top and install - and since a set of tires cost us $900 (me anyway) I'd say a new top every ten years is no big deal. I do not understand why people have such a fit over the cost of a top when tires cost so much and last only a short time.

 

A big thank you to everyone for all of the excellent options presented to me on this forum! Now I finally have some viable options!
