Back window fell out while at highway speeds. The only thing that kept it from coming completely loose was the rear window defrost wires.

I purchased this car this year from a chrysler executive who has owned it for years. She told me that while driving it the rear glass window fell out. This was her daily driver so she had it re glued as fast as she could so she would have a car to get to work.she did not know of the tsb on this. Tsb-23=035-11 called x-31/adhesion. I bought the car this year and the window is loose on the edges and I am afraid it will fall out and cause an accident. I took it to a dealer and they do not know what to do. They said because it was already fixed it would probably not be covered. Is this true? I bought this car to be a daily driver, not a sunny day driver.

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.

Rear window fell out completely in the middle of a thunderstorm with my wife driving. The window happened to fall inside the vehicle but it could have caused an accident if it had fallen outside the car. She was lucky that the window did not fall on her and we only got wet.

Rear window failure -- adhesive fails & rear window falls out. The failure of any window is not normal "wear and tear." many of these cars have experienced the same failure over the years. Chrysler finally -- after years of complaints -- issued a service bulletin #23-03511reva in 2011 that, according to chrysler, covers only vehicles delivered in nine southeastern states. It extends warranty coverage to ten years (which means chrysler will replace the convertible tops under warranty). All these cars were built in belgium. Chrysler had trouble selling these vehicles so it auctioned some vehicles internally to its dealer network, who were then permitted to get whatever they could for brand new "used" cars. Mine went to a dodge dealer in farmville va and was sold to me (via ebay) with 3 miles on the odometer in mid-2007 or so. 33 mos. Of "new car warranty" remained when I rec'd it here in hawaii. When that warranty expired I purchased an extended "platinum" warranty. The rear window fell out of the convertible top three months after the initial 36 month warranty had expired, the extended "platinum" warranty wouldn't cover repairs. The car had approx. 8000 miles on it. As noted before, chrysler issued the service bulletin mentioned above in 2011 but arbitrarily excluded some vehicles despite the problem occurring in cars all over the nation. I guess that they thought that the problem would happen only in certain climes -- but there are more than nine u.s. States that get hot weather, e.g., hawaii experiences hot sun year-round. And mine fell out despite very low mileage and the car being garaged when not in use. I request the federal safety agency demand that chrysler extend coverage to all vehicles that fit the criteria, not just those "delivered" in nine of fifty states. The failure of any window is not normal "wear and tear" no matter where it happens. Thanks.

Back window fell out of 2005 chrysler crossfire convertible. Dealer offers no fix. Poor craftsmanship. Based on web forums, it is common and chrysler does nothing to support their loyal customers who have both these cars. Windows should not fall out of cars... 42k miles.

Rear window fell off of convertible top while driving. Chrysler says that while this has happened to this model in the past they don't cover this in the warranty. There needs to be a recall for this problem!

2005 crossfire back window fell out of it while driving, creating a very scary and dangerous moment. The car has 8,200 miles on it. After taking it directly to the dealership, they said its a fault in the adhesive and chrysler will not replace it.

2005 chrysler crossfire roadster rear window fell out of the top. This could have fallen behind my car and hit another vehicle and injured someone. I belong to a chrysler car club and found this is a common failure for this year model. I have contacted chrysler and am waiting for their opinion. I am told the top replacement is about $3000.00.
