I came outside to find that the rear window of the convertible top had come loose and was laying on the rear deck being held to the fabric in 1 small place. The car had been parked outside for 1 day. Luckily it didn't fall out while I was driving, potentially shattering the glass near my head. Until the car is repaired it is unusable in foul weather due to water running in the passenger compartment.
2005 crossfire convertible top back glass defective factory used adhesive came mostly separated from top. The part glass still had adhesive tore top. I had it glued but entire top needs replacing. Glass came loose while parked. The design and adhesive should have been better product. I have had other convertibles here in mississippi and never had this happen. Chrysler should replace all these tops. Back glass reglued with window-weld. It not perfect now because glass tore top when fell out. Love the car hate the top. Hope they will stand behind their name.

Rear window fell out of convertible top
I bought this car with only 26000 miles on it the back windshield separated from the car at only approximately 34000 miles and still currently hanging there. Called chrysler and they refused to fix, said car was shipped to some dealer up north, so it does not qualify to be fixed? Additionally, I only have 40000 miles on it now and the key and fob, as well as locks no longer work, the car shuts off by itself while driving down the highway, the lights flash on the dash at all times.
2005 chrysler crossfire. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle rear window problems. *smd the consumer stated when he and his wife returned to the vehicle, the rear glass was lying on the back deck. The consumer was informed by his insurance company, the window problem was a manufacturing defect and was not covered by his insurance policy. *jb updated 09/02/15*lj updated 11/01/2017
I understand that the rear window is falling out of many of these vehicles and chrysler is doing nothing.
It's hard to imagine how anyone at the federal safety agency can sit and review all the reports on a serious manufacturing defect (and safety hazard) on these cars yet chrysler get away with a partial recall based on where the crossfires were initially delivered. Bottom line: as of late 2011, chrysler will do the "right thing" only if one's car was "delivered" in one of several southern states -- in light of the fact that the problem seems to be related to heat. Chrysler will not do the right thing if the same problem (the rear window falls out of the convertible top) if the car was delivered somewhere else -- as if the same problem occurring in those states is somehow not a serious manufacturing defect. Or as if people don't move to other states during their lives. I will never buy a chrysler/fiat product again in light of how the chrysler company hasn't stood behind its product and repaired this common defect -- a defect that should never occur in a modern car. This is so far from the attitude of most japanese and korean car manufacturers that the difference suggests that it's flat-out foolish to by anything from this company. But when it comes to the federal safety agency, it makes one wonder why that agency sits on its hands and does nothing to require chrysler to extend its service bulletin to cover all such vehicles, no matter where delivered. Rightly makes one wonder what the federal safety agency does that's worth we taxpayers paying their salaries.
My rear window is separating from the convertible canvas top. I contacted chrysler as there is an extended warranty of 10 years or 100,000 miles: the federal safety agency sb 23035-11 rev a. I was told the federal safety agency was for vehicles delivered only in certain states. What does the state have to do with a faulty adhesion problem? After a number of emails and phone calls chrysler has turned down the request. Concerned there is a danger if the window comes out on the highway.
Driving 55 and back window fell out. And chrysler will not pay for new top.
The rear window in has become unglued and fell out. Chrysler has been getting calls and having major issues with this issue. They will do nothing to help.
Convertible rear window detaching from fabric top. Seems to be manufacturers defect. No option for repair except to replace entire top at cost of $3000 - $4000 for parts & labor. Seems to be numerous crossfire owners with same issue. Chrysler not covering under warranty or helping to defray replacement cost.

Chrysler needs to step up to plate. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Came out of a store to find the rear window of my wife's 2005 crossfire convertible had become unglued along both sides, the bottom & all but the middle edge of the top. We found where chrysler had a recall on the 2005 roadster (which I am willing to bet uses the same adhesive) but the dealer said it is not covered by the recall. Confirmed this chrysler customer service.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler crossfire. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the rear window detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where it was stated the window was a factory defect. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000. The consumer stated the defect was the adhesive that held the rear glass to the convertible top. The top was constructed of excellent quality german canvass. The glass detached and was tethered to the top solely by the wire connecting the rear glass defroster, and there was nothing holding the glass to the vehicle. Updated 10/31/13
The rear glass window in the convertible soft top has come unglued and is falling out. This is a severe issue with this make of car and chrysler refuses to repair or replace it. At one time, chrysler agreed to extend the warranty on these vehicles to 10 years or 100,000 miles but only to crossfires that were shipped to certain southern states, such as south carolina, georgia, florida, tennessee, alabama, mississippi and texas. They feel only the cars that are in these warmer climate states will be affected. My car is a 2005 model that I purchased as a used vehicle from chrysler dealership in july 2012, who did not tell me about this problem and refuse to repair or replace the top. It was shipped to mi in 2005 and then was registered in sc in 2006. My feeling is all of the affected cars should be under warranty as it's a manyfacturer defect. Now I will be responsible to pay an additional $2,300 for a new top that will eventurally have the rear window fall out again. Google this problem and you will see it's nationwide if not worldwide. A class action lawsuit needs to be started against chrysler and mercedes.
