The rear window is glass and the glue bond to the convertible top fails. I called chrysler in august of 2016 when our window fell loose and I learned of an extended warranty that was never offered to us. They told me they had an extended warranty for the car but my VIN did not qualify and it was only for 10 years. We purchased the vehicle on 2/6/2005 in plano texas. From all the research I've done the extended warranty should have been for all cars sold in texas. We never received notice. As I continue to research, this problem is far greater than cars sold in a few southern states and chrysler should be covering our repair. I've attempted to resolve this with chrysler multiple times in the past 2 years with no success.

Headlights so fogged over they had to be replaced or the car could not get inspected. $947 for each headlight. Glass separated from convertible top.

I was driving my 2005 chrysler crossfire convertible with the top up on a highway at 65 miles per hour when the rear window fell into the car, which caused me to swerve due to the loud noise and commotion nearly causing an accident. Luckily, I realized there was no immediate danger and was able to maintain control of the car. This car is garaged and driven fewer than 6,000 miles per year! (mostly with the top down!)
The rear glass window fell out. It was parked in the garage and outside in kansas. When I attempted to put the roof up, the window was detached.
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.
Rear window fell out. Luckily, I was not driving. If I had been, window may have come out and hit a vehicle behind me or hit a pedestrian which probably would kill a person on foot. This is extremely dangerous. My insurance refuse to replace it because it is a "car defect". Chrysler refusing to repair "just cause". This could be life-taking under certain circumstances.
Rear window fell out. Car was sitting at work all day. I'm walking to car to leave work and see the back glass laying down in the back. Glue had come loose. Chrysler refuses to repair, though they are aware of this problem. My insurance refuse to repair because it is a manufacturer defect.
My 2005 crossfire convertible window fell out. I keep my car in the garage.
I was driving down the highway when the back window fell into my driver seat. It just popped out. I was very lucky not to have had and accident.
