IllustrationTHE BACK GLASS OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE HAS BECOME LOOSE FROM THE TOP. IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AS I HEARD IT BUMP AGAINST THE CAR BODY. I KNOW CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS ISSUE, BUT I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FIRST AND THE COMPANY SHOULD DO A RECALL TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.

IN JULY, THE REAR GLASS WINDOW FELL OUT (PART OF THE GLASS IS STILL ATTACHED) WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A STREET. UNKNOWN TO ME, THIS ISSUE WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2005 MODEL (THE GLASS ADHESIVE FAILED). ALTHOUGH CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TOP FOR 10 YEARS, THE WARRANTY COVERS ONLY CARS PURCHASE WITH SPECIFIC VINS. UNFORTUNATELY, MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED OR I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. , THE WINDOW REPAIR (ACTUALLY A TOP REPLACEMENT) IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE PROPED UP THE WINDOW SO I CAN DRIVE THE CAR, THE ALTURNITIVE IS TO A NEW TOP. FOR ABOUT $2,000

IN LATE AUGUST, THE REAR GLASS WINDOW FELL OUT (PART OF THE GLASS IS STILL ATTACHED) WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET. UNKNOWN TO US, THIS ISSUE WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2005 MODEL (THE GLASS ADHESIVE FAILED). ALTHOUGH CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TOP FOR 10 YEARS, THE WARRANTY COVERS ONLY CARS PURCHASE IN 10 SELECT STATES. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR CAR WAS NOT PURCHASED IN ONE OF THOSE STATES. THUS, THE WINDOW REPAIR (ACTUALLY A TOP REPLACEMENT) IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO FIX THE TOP. ENDED UP TAKING THE CAR TO A LOCAL UPHOLSTERY SHOP TO HAVE A PLASTIC WINDOW 'SOWN' INTO THE TOP SO THAT WE COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THIS REPAIR WAS MORE AFFORDABLE THAN THE COST OF AN ENTIRE NEW TOP (ALMOST $2,000). THE PLASTIC WINDOW REPLACEMENT COST $500.00.
THE REAR WINDOW ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAS COME UNGLUED AND IS FALLING OUT, THE DEFROSTER ON THE REAR WINDOW BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE WINDOW DUE TO THIS PROBLEM MAKING DEFROSTING OF THE REAR WINDOW IMPOSSIBLE AND HINDERS VISIBILITY. NOTHING UNUSUAL HAS BEEN DONE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS ISSUE OTHER THAN NORMAL USE.
REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY SEPERATED FROM CONVERTIBLE TOP. CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME..... UPDATED 09/30/15*BF
THE REAR WINDOW OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAS COME LOOSE. THE ADHESIVE FAILED. THIS DISTORTS THE REAR VIEW PRESENTING A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE FIXED THEM.

THE GLASS REMAINED CONNECTED TO THE TOP BY ABOUT 1/3 OF THE ORIGINAL GLUE. THE REMAINDER HAD COME APART FROM THE GLUE LEAVING THE GLASS …
