2005 Chrysler Crossfire

2005 CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE TOP BACK GLASS DEFECTIVE FACTORY USED ADHESIVE CAME MOSTLY SEPARATED FROM TOP. THE PART GLASS STILL HAD ADHESIVE TORE TOP. I HAD IT GLUED BUT ENTIRE TOP NEEDS REPLACING. GLASS CAME LOOSE WHILE PARKED. THE DESIGN AND ADHESIVE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER PRODUCT. I HAVE HAD OTHER CONVERTIBLES HERE IN MISSISSIPPI AND NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE ALL THESE TOPS. BACK GLASS REGLUED WITH WINDOW-WELD. IT NOT PERFECT NOW BECAUSE GLASS TORE TOP WHEN FELL OUT. LOVE THE CAR HATE THE TOP. HOPE THEY WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR NAME.

YESTERDAY, AFTER PUTTING THE TOP UP, I DROVE THE CAR. I HAD NOT PUT THE TOP UP IN ABOUT A WEEK. CAR SAT OUT IN BLAZING SUN WITH TEMPS IN THE HIGH 90'S FOR ABOUT 2.5 HOURS. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING, I HEARD AN ODD RATTLE. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE CAR TO FIND THAT THE REAR WINDOW WAS SEPARATING FROM THE SOFT TOP. IT WAS ABOUT 2/3 STILL ATTACHED. I HAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT. UPON RETURNING HOME, I SEE THAT IT IS NOW 2/3 DISCONNECTED. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE RAIN AS MY TRUNK WOULD FLOOD. AFRAID TO TRY TO JERRY RIG IT. UNABLE TO CALL DEALER UNTIL TOMORROW AS THIS, OF COURSE, IS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING THE CAR FOR FEAR THE GLASS WILL BECOME COMPLETELY DETACHED. OTHER THAN THE ATTACHED WIRE THAT HEATS THE GLASS FOR DEFOGGING, THERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL SECURE IT IF IT COMPLETELY DETACHES. THERE IS NOTHING TO KEEP IT FROM COMPLETELY DETACHING. I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO OR OWN ANOTHER CAR. I CANNOT JUST DRIVE MY CAR ON NICE DAYS AND STAY HOME ON RAINY OR COLD ONES. I AM INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT MY DEALERSHIP WILL DO ABOUT THIS. I FEAR NOTHING FROM OTHER ONLINE COMMENTS. THE CAR IS ONLY WORTH ABOUT $6K SO THE IDEA OF PUTTING A NEW TOP ON IT FOR $2-3K OUT OF MY POCKET SEEMS RIDICULOUS. I LOVE MY CAR AND WANT TO KEEP DRIVING IT. IT ONLY HAS 70K MILES AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER.

CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATION ABOUT REAR WINDOW SEPARATING FROM TOP. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE REPLACED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO A DEALER FOR PICTURES AND INSPECTION. THEY SUGGESTED MANAHAWKIN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM RT 72 MANAHAWKIN, NJ 08050 609-597-1097. MY CAR WAS INSPECTED AND PICTURES WERE TAKENED BY DEALER ON 8/15/14 AS PER CHRYSLERS REQUEST. INVOICE NUMBER CHCS113759. I HAVE A PAPER FROM DEALER STATING WINDOW IS SEPARATING FROM TOP AND WILL NOTIFY CHRYSLER WITH RESULTS. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM CHRYSLER CORP. STATING MINE IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DELIVERED IN SPECIFIED STATES. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC THAT CERTAIN STATES WOULD BE COVERED AND OTHERS NOT WHEN THEY WERE ALL MADE IN THE SAME LOCATIONS. THEY PROBLEM EXIST ON ALL THE CONVERTIBLES. I DO TRAVEL AND IF I WENT BY THEIR CONCEPT TO ONLY COVER STATES THAT HAVE HIGH TEMPERATURES WHAT DO I DO WHEN I TRAVEL TO THOSE STATES WITH THE CAR? I ASK FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS SINCE THIS IS A CAR MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE THE CAR HAS THE PROBLEM IN ALL STATES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH ONLY 26000 MILES ON IT THE BACK WINDSHIELD SEPARATED FROM THE CAR AT ONLY APPROXIMATELY 34000 MILES AND STILL CURRENTLY HANGING THERE. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX, SAID CAR WAS SHIPPED TO SOME DEALER UP NORTH, SO IT DOES NOT QUALIFY TO BE FIXED? ADDITIONALLY, I ONLY HAVE 40000 MILES ON IT NOW AND THE KEY AND FOB, AS WELL AS LOCKS NO LONGER WORK, THE CAR SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE LIGHTS FLASH ON THE DASH AT ALL TIMES.
