2006 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster visibility problems

Filed Feb 13, 2018 · Visibility · 57,138 miles · TN

This 2006 crossfire roadster is garage kept. The car was parked, when the glass separated on three sides from the cloth convertible top. Failure of the rear window glass appears to be due to lack of attachment, other than adhesive glue. The cloth convertible top is in good condition. This poses a significant safety hazard to the public, considering the vehicle is rated at speeds in excess of 150 MPH. It appears that chrysler has recalled some 2005 models which have the same type convertible tops and glass windows, made by karmann. As the safety issues continue I would hope that chrysler would recall all of these defective parts before the public is seriously injured or killed. I await an urgent response from chrysler to fix this hazardous problem me. Please contact me with your best efforts to make this right and keep everyone safe. 2-13-18 disappointed driver in east tennessee

Rear glass in convertible top has separated from the fabric. Vehicle has less than 30,000 miles and is garage kept. Vehicle is not abused and top has only been retracted a total of approximately 15 times so it can not even be attributed to "normal wear and tear". This seems to me to be a manufacturing defect.

Rear glass window falling out of 2006 chrysler crossfire convertable. The corners of the rear window started to separate from the roof material. After putting the top down and putting it back up, most of the top and corners of the rear window were loose from the roof fabric, I called the chrysler dealership to find out how it could be repaired. They told me that a new convertible top would be needed. It could not be repaired. Chrysler dealer quoted $1,650 for the top and $1,000 for labor

I was driving on the freeway with my driver and passenger side windows down when I heard a loud clapping noise coming from the 3rd window (convertible window). The window glue has begun unsticking and the upholstery and glass were coming apart. If not for immediate corrective actions the window could have flown away and into other cars behind me.

While driving the car with the top up the rear window fell loose from failed adhesive. Chrysler has made repairs to 2005 models with the same failure and refused to fix 2006. Same design same part same defect.

The glass rear window to the convertible became disengaged on three sides and started flapping inside the car. Took it to the dealer who told me this happens all the time and it cannot be fixed. A new top with a factory installed glass must be purchased and installed. Chrysler and the dealer refuse to except any responsibility, and want $2800 for repair. It appears that this problem has happened routinely with this vehicle and no recall has been ordered. If I drive the car the window will eventually disengage completely and possibly become a missile on the highway. It appears the glue that holds the glass to the canvas top is defective and will not hold. I would welcome contact from chrysler with some assistance in the repair/replacement cost.

Rear window is coming apart from the top. Glue joint is failing, window falling out for no reason that I can see. Chrysler does not want to own the problem, in all of the years, 2004 thru 2008 for the crossfire conv. This is a problem with the crossfire conv.

The rear glass window on my convertible top became detached from the surrounding material. Apparently the glue holding the window on failed. I pulled over and secured it before it flew off and potentially hit another car or pedestrian. This is a previously know problem with this model for the 2004 and 2005 model years. Chrysler has issued a recall for cars with this problem in certain southern states of which I live in one texas. I contacted chrysler today and they indicated my area was covered but not my model year. I have seen numerous complaints online about this occurring in other 2006 models. This could potentially be an extreme hazard to other autos and pedestrians.
