2005 chrysler crossfire convertible top has a defective glue for attaching rear glass window. After only 22k miles rear glass has detached and can only be replaced, not fixed at a cost of over $2000. The failure of this design can cause serious injury if glass separates at speed. Chrysler refuses to acknowledge this defect and fully support its product.
I own a 2005 chrysler crossfire limited edition convertible. Aug 23, 2010 I notice the glue seal around the rear glass dried up, which caused the rear glass to fall out and potential cause sever problems for the driver if not caught in time. This is a known manufactures defect, however, chrysler will not own up to this problem. My top is like new and it is clear to me and others this is a mfg defect in the adhesive. In my opinion, chrysler is shifting gears to the consumer and hoping the issue happens after the warranty period. I am under the mileage warranty, however, I was inform the 1st owner of the car is when the warranty begins, therefore, the car is out of warranty based on the years and not mileage! The replacement cost is $3500 for a new top and glass. We need help out here and your investigation is greatly appreciated.

I own a 2005 chrysler crossfire convertable with 55,000 miles on it. This mornign I went to get in the car and the back window had separated from the roof and was hanging by the defrost connectors. I took it to my chrysler dealer and they said they had had a few do that. The only remidy was to replace the whole top! ($2500 !!!) it seems the heat seal adhesive used to hold the window in place is inadequate. I checked the internet and four many reports of the same problem. Is chrysler not willing to step up to the plate and stand good for their product?
Own 2005 crossfire and the glass in the soft top is falling out. Chrysler refusing to be responsible. One attempt was already made to reglue the area coming unglued, but after several hundred dollars and 3 weeks later .. It still is falling out. I have been told by several auto repair top places that the entire top would have to be replaced ... Estimated cost $2500!!! I have learned in the last few weeks that this is a very common problem and obviously a manufacture defect and chrysler should step up to the plate.
Chrysler crossfire 2005 back window fell out, came unglued for no reason, requires replacement of whole top. Manufacturer's defect so insurance won't pay and chrysler corp refuses to do anything to correct. Safety hazard, unable to drive car, put top down, etc. Cost to replace at my dealership 1700.00 parts plus 700.00 labor!!!!! Help - make chrysler pay to fix!!!!
The glass from the top of my 2005 chrysler crossfire roadster sunk in as the glue from manufacturer did not hold up. It is under a maximum coverage warranty from chrysler and they still did not want to cover the repair b/c it is material. However, it is the way manufacturer made the car(with a soft top) therefore the warranty should cover the top even if its cloth b/c it is how they made it.
The back window in my 2005 chrysler crossfire convertible fell out. It was glued in at the factory, not stitched or bolted. Repair shops will not warranty the work, stating that it will fall out again within 6 months because the glue they can use to repair the window is not as strong as what is used ikn the factory. Chrysler says the only way to fix the problem is to install a new roof. They state the problem is ramped and stems from a design flaw. Chrysler has corrected the design flaw and does not warranty the 2005 vehicle. No warranty, no discount on parts, no split of fees, just...buy a new roof.
I have a 2005 chrysler crossfire. The back glass is coming out. The dealer is stating it cant be fixed but has to be replaced.at a cost of approximately $3500.00. Chrysler is offering no help.
I have a 2005 crossfire convertible! I spent a lot of money for this car and now the back window is ready to fall out!!! It has separated from the drivers side completely. Im afraid the window will fly out completely and kill someone while on the highway!!!!
The rear window glass is coming out of the convertible top on my 2005 chrysler crossfire. There was less than 40,000 miles on the car when it started. Went to the dealer to get it looked at and was told that chrysler would not cover it and that my extended warranty did not cover it. This seems to be a common problem on this model car from what I have been reading on the web. With all I have been reading I would think that chrysler should be responsible and fix this issue.
My 2005 chrysler crossfire roadster the rear window is falling out of the top, I took it to daytona dodge dealer and they told me that the top could not be fixed it had to be replaced and it was a 2800.00 repair. The window is coming unglued from the top. I have searched on the internet and this seems to be a ongoing problem there are a lot of people having the same problem.
This is a complaint on a 2005 chrysler crossfire roadster that was just purchased in june 2009. I was looking in my rear view mirror on sunday afternoon and noticed a small quarter inch gap between my convertible top and my rear window. When I inspected the vehicle, I also noticed another gap that was on the left driver side of my rear window. This gap is about 2 inches wide and I can literally stick my hand on the inside of my car. It seems that the heat here in texas has melted the glue to the point that the window is becoming detached from the convertible top's canvas material. So, I contacted chrysler customer care on monday morning and they instructed me to visit a dealer to see if they could fix the window. I went to the dealership that afternoon and they told me (verbatim) "we don't bother working on this vehicle because it is too much of a hassle, we refer crossfires to an upholstery shop!" so, the next morning which was tuesday, I contact chrysler customer service again, told them what I was told at the dealership and they said "please go to a different dealership." so I went again that tuesday afternoon and this time they looked at my vehicle and said they would contact customer service and get back with me the next day. I received a call today, wednesday, saying that it is going to cost $3,000 plus tax to repair. They can't just glue the window back in, they have to replace the whole top. Chrysler also denied a goodwill replacement because it was deemed unnecessary, and my warranty just expired like 20 miles ago. The top is on back order, as I was told by the service manager at the dealership, so it could be a while before I would even be able to have it repaired. I am driving around with a half glued rear window, that can fall out and bust inside my car at any point. It is not only a hazard to me, but also to any passengers, pedestrians or motorist around me. If this should fall out while I am driving, I or someone else can become seriously injured.

I am writing this letter to inform you of what I have been through with the 2005 chrysler crossfire convertible I purchased 3/21/08 from exotic motors in tarpon springs,fl on 6/14/08 I went to get into the car and noticed the back window came out/unglued. I called geico and that's where it all started they said I had a $500.00 deductible. I thought I could just go to firkins chrysler and have it glued back in for less. Went there and they said it was a manufactures defect but sent me to there glass person manatee auto trim inc. He looked at it and said the same thing manufactures defect and would not fix it as he has done 3-4 in the past few months and they don?t take. That in it self should tell you something. So my husband called chrysler on 6/16/08 spoke with mark he stated they would be willing to do a good will replacement, so the next day 6/17/08 I took the car back to firkins they put in a work order and informed me the car tops were back ordered. My husband the called chrysler 6/17/08 and spoke with millie who was very rude and told my husband under no circumstance would chrysler pay for that as it cost too much. When he told her just the day before he spoke with mark and he said he would do the good will replacement she said no way. I then met with my geico adjuster and he also said they would not cover it as it is a manufacturers defect. He took pictures and gave me his report, which states it is a manufacturers defect, he advised me to sue chrysler. I called chrysler myself on 6/18/08 spoke with richard who was very rude, abrupt, and indifferent and told me to do what I had to do but he was not going to help me. To sum this letter up I have contacted the florida attorney general?s office and filed a complaint. They have been very helpful, putting me in the in touch with who I need to help me.
