Do a search on this problem. It has been discussed many times, and is an issue with our roadsters. There is a repair posted by tighed1 that I have used with great success. Find it and you will be OK, if done right. OR ....... just wait for tighed1 to answer here. He'll probably give some linkys to find the repair. Good Luck

Here's the link to my repair that appears to have worked for a lot of us.

Be sure to read the addition by IBLUBYU at the bottom. Adds more detail to the fix.

Let us know if it works for ya. Mine is well over a year now, still holding.

Crossman, you should visit more often. The issue with the rear glass falling out of the roadster has been discussed many times along with some other issues owners have had with their Crossfire.

Hi, if you are experiencing problems with your rear window please call 1-800-247-9753 and file a compliant with NHTSA(National Highway Traffic Safety). I plan to file a law suit against Chrysler for this know defect that can cause serious injury if not death.


I understand some people out of warranty did receive some compensation from $500 to $1500 from Chrysler.

I was informed there is a 3M adhesive available you can purchase from your local auto store; I did and the cost was $18.

Please explain the details. What year is you xfire? Is it still under warranty? If so, factory or MaxCare. How and why did the dealer agree to replace the top? Thanx.
