New 2007 crossfire roadster owner
Hello crossfire owners I purchased a 2007 red crossfire roadster with 13000 miles 3 wks ago. I am located in warren, oh area. I purchased this car from a Chrysler dealer unfortunately they have had for 2wks fixing a top problem. They have have sent the car out to a top shop to replace a sensor which was done but they need to now calibrate it which has now taken a couple of days. I have been reading all of the post on this site concerning top issues and have not found any info on calibrating? Am I being misinformed?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Re-post this under the roadster category and describe the symptoms, windows go down, top unlatches but does not move, switch beeps, trunk divider is in place etc. for more feedback. Also search and read the many postings on top issues. I would be very afraid of a dealer but if it is under warrantee ???
Re: New 2007 crossfire roadster owner
There is NO calibration involving the top.
Sequence :
When it's working ( putting top down ) :
1. unlatch the "D" handle and slightly raise top, windows will go down.
2. press and hold the rear of the top switch.
3. You will hear the bow lock release, then the rear bow will raise.
4. You will hear the tonneau latch release, then the tonneau cover will raise.
6. The top will retract into the well.
7. the tonneau will close and latch.
8. You will hear one beep indicating successfull operation.
putting top up "
1. press and hold the front of the top swirch
2. the tonneau cover will raise
3. the top will raise
4. the tonneau will close and lock.
5. the rear bow will close and lock
6. you must pull the top carefully closed with the turned "D" handle, then latch.
7. optionally, you can press the top switch twice rapidly twice in the up direction and both windows will raise.
Manual process : see pizzaguys video : https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...operation.html

"Calibrate it" - yea, that's a phrase uttered by someone who knows nothing, NOTHING of what they are talking about.
Our world is going to hell. Here we are, in a world filled with electronics and electro-mechanical devices, systems and product. Yet, no one is learning or teaching electronics/electronic troubleshooting as a vocation anymore.
If I did not have a 34 year background as an electronics technician, I'd have never bought my second, let alone third, Crossfire Roadster.

Oh, and it's common practice for dealers to send their convertible top work to an outside upholstery shop. They can't afford to keep that kind of skill around when it's not required that much. And as such, upholstery shops will have varying skillsets when it comes to working on tops.

How does one acquire the Witech software is this something the dealer might know about? I was told by the service manager that they are trying to borrow a scanner from another dealer in the Cleveland area because theirs wont save codes? sounds fishy to me?
The main issue was the rear bow would not securely latch the top down completely .
I do want to Thank all of you who have responded, I feel blessed to have found this site Thank You

The Starmobile device was replaced by what they called VCI pods, and then micropods. I don't know if those devices with the Witech software work with a Crossfire.

Re: New 2007 crossfire roadster owner
I remember reading a previous thread about the rear bow latch adjustment, if I'm not mistaken it is in the crossfire service manual available here on the Forum for download, might be worth your time to take a look the solution to your problem may be as simple as adjusting that latch.
Re: New 2007 crossfire roadster owner
1. The convertible top and associated pump and wiring, of course.
2. the switch on the console ( and a locking console lid ).
3. extra body stiffener bars.
4. the tonneau cover and trunk lid.
5. the spoiler
6. the rollover bars
7. a rear window that tends to fall out after about 8 years
8. the wind in your hair
