Default window shape

here's the issue...a while back i took my crossfire in for some issues that i was having with it. i get the car back and i notices tool marks in both of my windows. so the dealership admitted fault and replaced both the windows. now here's where it gets interesting...both the windows do not align with the b pillar (it actually bows out and barely makes contact with the seal) and i have had wind noise ever since. the dealership has told me that it is all in my mind. so what i did was walked the shop manager over to another crossfire and showed him what it is supposed to look like. he agreed that the windows are infact different but they will not replace the windows. WTF does anyone have any suggestions on what i can do besides go to other dealerships cuz i have been there and done that.

A number of us have had door windows that fit poorly which caused wind noise. Assuming they installed the right windows for the car, it may very well be possible to stop the noise by properly adjusting the window glass.

A good automotive glass replacement company might be able to reshape the glass a bit to give it a better fit, so long as its not too out of whack. I'd call around to local shops and see if they can help.

My buddy also has a base coupe like mine. His driver side window had an half inch gap from the window to the B-pillar. The "5 star" dealer tried to fix it a few times by adjusting the door striker. Now the gap is almost gone. However, going through the car wash, the water leaks. That is a big problem. Is water going to get inside the door and freeze in winter time??? According to this Fu#@*ng dealer, it is under the specification, therefore, nothing will be done to correct it. Since the gap is in the bottom of the window, wind noise is not a big factor. After 3-4th visit to the dealer everything has gotten better. However, now something is rubbing against the door. Hence, the squeaking noise. My friend tried to lemon law this car but he didn't win. As for myself, I love this car. I had minor problems but it is all fixed. I just feel so bad about Chrysler the company for neglecting all crossfire customers with their needs. I think there is one mechanic at this dealer I purchased that is qualified to work on crossfires. Can we get together as a group and voice our disappointments towards Chrysler the company and the dealership/service?? I have purchased my vehicle based on love of this car from everyone at this forum and reading edmunds forum.
