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 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 april of 2015 I noticed that rear window is separating from the convertible top. Since then I have driven very little fearing that the glass may fall out completely.
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
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.
Rear window has come unglued from the convertible top causing the rear window to separate from the top.
The rear window separated from the convertible top while I had the car parked outdoors. I found the car with the rear window area open and the glass lying on the interior of the backlight area. 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 mostly detached.

The back window in my 2005 crossfire came unglued and nearly fell in while I was driving. I had to get off the road and found a way to get home with it barely hanging on. I called my dealership and chrysler only to learn that they had an extended warranty on 2005 crossfire tops but because my car was not sold in one of the nine southern states they would not help me. I was able to find someone to re-attach the widow on a temporary basis but it keeps coming unglued. I have been told the only permanent solution is to get a new top. I've spent 2 years limping along with make due remedies. Please help us.
As many 2005 chrysler crossfire convertible tops , the rear window glass is separating from the convertible fabric. The adhesive has to be defective on all tops...now people are saying that 2008 are separating also....this is a very serious safety issue some windows have detached driving. Chrysler did recall tops for some cars,but only in a few states it is happening more then they have made it out to be. Please look into this as that was not a fair assessment to only a few cars when all 2005 have this problem... !..updated 08/13/15
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler crossfire convertible. While driving at 50 MPH, the contact heard a clicking sound and noticed that the rear glass window separated from the convertible top. The failure could eventually cause the top to detach completely as the glass continued to strike the roll bar of the driver seat. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000.
Went out to my car and found the rear window glass had fallen out. Bonding adhesive failure. Chrysler had an illogical and arbitrary tsb set up to replace the convertible tops with rear window adhesive failure but it only covered 2005 model year roadsters and a very limited number of cars that were originally delivered to dealers in a nine selected states. The reality is that all chrysler crossfire roadsters from 2005 to 2008 model years will eventually have their rear window glass fall out due to the failure of the bonding adhesive. Chrysler's "band aide" fix was woefully inadequate and inexplicably limited.
The glass rear window in my low mileage pampered chrysler crossfire roadster simply fell out. The bonding adhesive used to seal the window in place failed without advance symptoms or warning.
Rear window came out of the convertible top after purchasing 1 month earlier. Sounds like this is a very common problem but there is not a registered recall for it. This is obviously a manufacturing defect that should be fixed.
Literally the day after the return period on our 2005 crossfire convertible was up, we found out that this car has a major defect where the back window falls out due to failure of the adhesive. This issue is widespread and is a real safety hazard. Apparently the entire top typically needs to be replaced if this happens, not just a re-glue job. The car has less than 17,000 miles and I've driven it probably less than 50 miles since buying, yet now I am faced with a big repair bill to make the car safe. Chrysler should cover this top in *any* case where it occurs (not just in the few southern states they have deemed applicable for coverage). I am in va, and that's where the car was originally delivered. Anybody who says va doesn't have high heat and humidity is crazy. We are just 75 miles from nc, a covered state. This is terribly unfair and I feel like a schmuck. Chrysler should be forced to recall all of these tops, not pick and choose! How can a window falling out of the car not be considered a major violation by chrysler? Can the ntsb do anything to help?

Adhesive on rear glass window coming loose, has been for months now. Window is now barely held in by top strip of glue & could fall out at any moment. Issue is covered under a service bulletin from chrysler but they are denying my claim because the car was purchased in a different state. If the window falls out it could hurt a passenger or even fly out from the car and harm someone else on the road. This issue happens to all 2005 crossfire convertibles due to a defect in manufacturing.
