Car is stationary and the rear window is separating from the convertible top

Filed Jun 1, 2017 · Visibility · NC

The vehicle's rear window is separating from the convertible top and I am afraid that it will fly off while I'm driving on the highway and kill someone behind me. I noticed the issue while it was parked in my driveway. Chrysler is well aware of this issue with the 2005 models and is not covering any repair of any other years, yet hundreds of people with cars from each year have complaints on many internet forums.

Back window fell off the convertible top. I see this is the same issue with 2005 (which was repaired/recall by the mfg). Dealer said it was up to me to repair, had to ship the top to california for a complete new top (~ $3k). I live in florida. Don't understand how a back window falling off a moving car is not a safety issue. Only ~ 22k miles.

It appears chrysler has extended their warranty on 2005 models for this very same problem. What ever fix they think they made for later models didn't work. They need to cover this safety issue.

Chrysler extended the warranty on the 2005 model and acknowledged that the back window on the convertibles tend to come unglued and fall out. I own a 2006 model and I just got off the phone with a chrysler rep and she said "there have been no reports" for the 2006 back window coming unglued on the convertibles so I have to pay for the repair out of my pocket and "keep good receipts" in case chrysler decides to take ownership of it's manufacturing defect in the 2006 model. I don't understand how the same manufacturing defect can be recognized for one year and not the next. What can chrysler produce to show that they fixed the problem with the 2006 convertibles? Also, I see many people complaining that the 2006 model has the same problem with the rear window falling out so why am I the only complaint on record with chrysler??? This is a safety issue not a cosmetic problem. Why wouldn't chrysler want their vehicles to be safe? I was also told on the phone that there are some things that are maintenance issues that are the responsibility of the owner. I never thought in a million years that I it would be my responsibility to ensure all the windows stayed on the car!!!!

Adhesive holding rear window in place began to separate from convertible top. Other crossfire owners have reported total failure. This is a significant safety issue if/when the rear window completely separates and detaches from the vehicle and poses a hazard to others I.e., pedestrian, motorcycle riders, etc. All the tops were produced by the same manufacturer (karmann) although chrysler is only willing to replace certain 2005 models based on the state they were originally sold. This makes no sense, chrysler and the federal safety agency should recall all tops produced and replace them with a top with the rear window attached with some type of improved adhesive so the risk to others is eliminated.
