It actually wasn't a split front window. It looks like it in the pictures but it was actually the windshield wiper. Been brought up here before a few years back.

The rear window has the "spine" splitting it in two and the parked position of the wiper completes the effect.

Like we need any LESS rear visibility. It was cool for the concept, not so much for production.

They can't be adjusted to fix the problem. A tiny window that sits up high like an SUV, cannot be fixed. I too have installed a backup camera to get by. :D

Pshh... lower it :). I learned to drive on a 73 mach 1, which is a rolling blind spot. I can see just fine out of the back of the crossfire. I may actually convert the rear window to a solar panel.
Check the blindness:

Aawindley, are you asking about the windshield "split" or the "spine" in the rear window?
Actually the spine in the rear window doesn't effect rear visibility that much. Certainly nothing at all like the split window Vette did. It just creates a slightly "distorted" view when looking thru the rear view mirror.
I really wish our rear window had the same spine effect, I love it.
I really like the wrap around windshield as well. The concept car has more of a "cockpit" look about it.
The rear window can really be seen in the photos taken at the Chrysler museum.

I can't imagine it would be all that difficult to have a stick on spline on the rear window, painted to match the body color.

I don't know about you guys, but i can't see S*** out of my mirrors. When i bought it, it came with those little round sticker mirrors so i can back up and such.

John, did you look at the photos of the rear window of the concept car?
The spine in the rear window is simply a very slight "ridge" running down the center of the glass.
You can still see right thru it.

Really there is no problem seeing behind the crossfire. It's the massive blind spots/trying to back up

OK. A clear plastic stick on ridge, or... if you want to get more accurate, you'd need a glass shop to slump a piece of glass to the right shape, then glue it on with a nice UV adhesive.
