Been looking at a few convertible crossfire's............do they suffer from any hood related problems at all?
cheers.

 

Hi Rob,
Sadly they do....you may notice on the outside sort of centre towards the rear of the roof what looks like a rubbing /scratch mark (as i would descibe it) this is caused by a fold as the roof retracts as it lowers into the rear of the car , i have watched it retract and it can be seen doing this. I believe Chrysler are aware of this but dont or wont cover this under warranty ...as i believe it will happen again with a new one so comes down as a design flaw i guess ?...some owners in the States have also reported the rear windows coming away from the softtop itself but i dont know of it happening here, this could be in the southern part of the country where the weather is a lot hotter ?..but they are willing to cover this on earlier models only, do a search for more info.Some have reported issues with the micro switches that devide the boot space and the roof but i have never had a problem with mine summer or winter works fine.but please dont let this put you off this is my second Crossfire and i just love it ..different, quirky and not many around if you can go for the SRT 6 ... if you want any more info feel free to P M

Regards, Dave.

 

Hi Rob42
as UK Dave says in the US the back window has been known to fall out due to the adhesive melting, no chance of that here then , i've not noticed any problems on mine yet (touch wood) but its not done many miles on a 2005 plate @ 20000 miles, I think some one on the uk forum had a cable snap but i beleive was an easy fix, noise could be a problem for some, but i'm half deaf anyway, but they do look so good with the roof down and always get admring glances, not sure if its me or the car you wont regret getting one,good luck in you decision

 

Hi Rob
ours is a 2006 with 59k and no issues, its my wifes every day car and if i use it and its not raing i take the roof down so has has a bit of work and except for the slight discolouration were it folds on the side of the roof no issues, get one mate they are awesome

 

Thanks for the reply's guys!
