Rear window became completely detached (loose) from the mounting surface. Having the chrysler group service bulletin (23035-11 rev a) on file, which specifies a 10yr/100,000 mi. Warranty extension (2005 model) along with an ample amount of evidence that this defect has occurred in all regions of the u.s., to a vehicle that was imported from only one source in germany; why has the federal safety agency failed to require the chrysler group to cover all of the affected vehicles regardless of which state they were first sold in???

The rear window is coming loose and it's leaking.. Modules in trunk shorted due to water leak.
Recall laminate issue, convertible top failure leading to electrical damage causing top to stay open.
Rear window is coming loose - one side has completely delaminated. Sounds like it is going to fall or break. I have seen and heard that chrysler will stand behind it up to 10 years or 100,000 miles. I took my car to a garage and he told me that I should contact chrysler. If the top is up, I cannot drive faster than 45 MPH without it vibrating. This is a severe safety hazard. Can you help me? 12/26/2013
The rear window came unglued from the convertible top while driving down the highway. If the defroster cable had not held the window would have flown out, and could have seriously harmed other motorists. Chrysler knows of this issue and has issued tsb 23-035-11 which acknowledges the defect and will repair it, but only for cars sent to certain dealerships. This should be fixed on all 2005 crossfires. The vehicle is now undriveable and has to have the entire top replaced.
The 2005 (only) crossfire convertible has a faulty seal bonding the backglass to the top causing it to become dislodged from the top traveling or parked. Chrysler is aware of the defect calling it a "trim" piece. A vehicle traveling on the expressway or highway losing its' backglass is not a trim but a dangerous defect that must be recalled. Models after 2005 had this defect corrected.
Noticed the rear window has started to detach from the top. This is a know flaw and needs to be addressed. This is a major hazard as the car cannot be driven as is.
The rear window in my 2005 chrysler crossfire roadster became unglued and will not stay in place; this makes the car unsafe to drive, as the window may come out at any time, string someone or causing an accident. This car was purchased in nov 2008 with only 16,800 miles on it, and has been garage kept since. This is a known manufacturing defect, having affected dozens of these cars, as well as other chrysler convertibles produced during that time. Chrysler has acknowledged the issue, but will only repair vehicles delivered to specific southern states, no matter where you live, bought the car, etc.
Rear glass detached from fabric roof (convertible) on interstate. Fortunately nobody following me was injured.
Rear window adhesive failed and rear window glass started to become detached from convertible top.
The rear window is detaching from the convertible top. It has gotten progressively worse over the past year and the window could fall out at any time without a repair. This is a known problem with the 2005 roadster models, chrysler has refused to issue a general recall. As a result, my local chrysler dealer in seminole florida will not replace nor repair the top.
Convertible top rear window became unattached from the convertible top.
The rear adhesive on my 2005 chrysler crossfire roadsters rear window, that holds it to the soft top convertible, has begun to detach. I have called chrysler about the issue and they explained that my vehicle was not covered by the warranty and they will not assist. This is a huge safety concern for me because the window could detach while driving and possibly cause harm and/or death to other drivers on the roadway. I found a service bulletin on the issue with a bulletin # sb-23035-11reva that recommends that the convertible top be inspected and/or replaced if defective. Chrysler is not helping at all with this serious safety issue to help me fix it and make my vehicle safe for myself, and the others around me. I am a member of crossfireforum.org and there are many other people with this issue that have either gotten it replaced by chrysler for free, or paid a co-pay to help them fix the problem, but I was offered neither for this extremely unsafe issue my vehicle has. Please help me in any way that you can.
Rear window in convertible top unglued on top and both sides and fell into car while parked. Air temperature was above 100f. No previous problems with window leakage or sign of impending failure. Believe this is part of sb 23035-11 rev a but local chrysler dealer unable to authorize repair or replacement. Have contacted chrysler and opened case number [xxx] and am awaiting resolution. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The rear window started to fall out of the convertible top. This has a know problem by chrysler and they have a service bulletin on (23-035-11) on cars sent to certain southern states but mine was from virginia and the are saying it is not covered. This appears to happen on all chrysler crossfire convertibles ,there is a glue defect on all these crossfires and the heat from the southern states expedites the delamination. It gets just as hot in virginia. If a car was shipped to north carolina for a day then driven else were it would be covered, they recall makes know sense. This is a know defect by chrysler on all the 2005 convertibles, they were all made in the same place. This is a dangerous condition to everyone and chrysler needs to replace all these tops on the 2005 chrysler crossfire convertibles and/or extend the recall/bulletin to all the 2005 chrysler convertibles before someone gets unnecessarily killed.
Purchased this vehicle in april of this year, from a chrysler dealer. It came with a plastic window, which I found out, is not factory/standard. The dealer refused to take care of it. Found out about the x31 and sb-23035-11reva bulletin, contacted chrysler about it, got turned down because we are the 4th owners of the car, and it was 3,000 over the 100k mile limit. I wrote sergio marchionne, the ceo of chrysler, got a review, but was turned down again. Told that it "would not make good business sense" to fix my car! What!!? The problem is widespread, and since chrysler has owned up, they should continue to be a good manufacturer, and take care of their customers, original or not. The condition is dangerous.
Rear window in roadster (convertible) top is becoming unglued / delaminated from the fabric top. If it comes completely unglued at highway speeds it could be quite dangerous.
The rear window glass on the roadster separates rapidly from the roof lining and if not caught in time will completely detach and become a projectile to the internal occupants or to other road users. Chrysler have indicated on their x31 recall for the problem the expectation that certain vehicles are warranted for 10 years/100,000 miles due to a manufacturing defect, but only for vehicles shipped to some 8 southern states. Their contention is that other vehicles are not affected but this is at odds with the experiences of myself and many others.
The rear window has separated from the canvas top and may fall out while driving. This will be a serious and costly safety issue.
While sitting parked in my driveway on a hot summer day the back glass of my convertible top became separated from the fabric of the top as a result of adhesive failure. Had this occurred while driving personal injury would have resulted.
Back window falling out from poor adhesive to fabric top. Chrysler has a service bulletin out on these vehices, but only in certain states. This is a manufactures defect and the car maker should be accountable. This is very dangerous to others behind when the back window separates from the vehicle.
Chrysler has recalled and/or provided extended warranty for crossfire convertible tops (x31 recall I believe) where the rear glass window is failing and becoming loose or has come out of the roof top completely. Chrysler has stated that only vehicles delivered to dealers in select southern states qualify for this recall/extended coverage. This is a safety issue for all crossfires with convertible tops! Do you wait until the window glass comes out completely while driving with the potential to cause an accident or damage to subsequent vehicles and or other property? No! This defective item should be replaced by chrysler for all crossfire vehicles with convertible tops. Chrysler should contact all registered owners and advise them as to how to have there defective components replaced before an incident and/or accident occurs.
The back glass adhesive on the convertible soft top on my 2005 chrysler crossfire roadster has begun to fail, causing the glass to separate from the fabric top. This adhesive is the only support for the window to the fabric top. The window/top connection currently does not provide a waterproof seal and allows water to enter the vehicle. Recently, the deterioration has accelerated and soon could present as a safety hazard when the adhesive fails completely and the glass falls out on a roadway.
Chrysler reference # [xxx] tsb 23 035 11 the rear window in the contv. Top has been coming unglued. There are several cases to support this. Chrysler has no explantation for this or the reason that all roadsters are not being fixed/recalled. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
In mid 2009 I noticed that the rear window glass in my 2005 chrysler crossfire roadster was delaminating from the canvas apparently due to a poor adhesive bond. I was able to re-attach it myself after I was refused service by my local chrysler dealer due to "adhesives and the soft top are not covered". He cited "environmental factors can not be controlled" and are excluded from warranty service. This car was purchased in georgia at a chrysler dealership and is kept garaged. It is driven approximately 4500 miles per year, and is immaculate. The top is separating again and after contacting chrysler customer care, I was told that mine is excluded from a recent "partial" recall for cars only manufactured on "certain production lines" in michigan. Or originally delivered to a few "hot" states. Mine was apparently delivered to michigan. Does this mean I can't drive it south past columbus, ohio? This is a bald faced lie. Every one of these cars were manufactured and assembled in osnabruck, germany, and shipped here. The window is about to fall out and will look very stylish in the grill of the car behind me. This is a safety issue and should be addressed as such. My car will sit until either chrysler comes clean on an obvious manufacturing defect or I can scrape up enough to pay for it myself.

2005 chrysler crossfire roadster: rear glass window in convertible top separated from fabric. Although the window has not yet fallen out completely, research on internet indicates that this is an extremely common problem in crossfires and the problem will progress until the window falls out completely. If this window were to fall out while traveling at highway speeds not only could it startle the driver to the point of losing control of the vehicle but could injure or kill anyone following or near the vehicle. This is a known defect by chrysler and serious safety hazard which they have ignored for years.
On my 2005 crossfire, the rear window separated from roof and now the roof won't retract with a rapid blinking red light on the roof switch and for some reason it constantly run my battery down. This car only has 32,000 miles on it. No help from chrysler or insurance, will never buy another chrysler again and will discourage anyone I know from purchasing one. New orleans, la.
2 days ago, it was hott here in vegas, my car is garage kept but had to park outside. When I returned to my car after about an hour, the black glass in the convertible top just fell out. It is unsafe to drive like this but I have no choice as the tops are on backorder and I am not sure if I will ever get one. I currently have to big blankets on the deck holding it in place as part of the seal is holding, but this will not last long.
This is a 2005 chrysler crossfire we have owned and garage kept for 3yrs without any problems until today when the back window on the convertible top became delaminated. Searching the internet I found that this may be a common problem for other owners of this vehicle.I dont understand how this method of installation from the factory could be considered quality work because its just glued onto the denim cloth. This car has never been in an accident or treated in a negligent manner it is well taken care of and there is no reason for this to happen except for poor manufacturing processes.
