The rear window glass on the roadster has separated from the roof lining. I have been told that it can not be repaired only replaced. This presents a safety hazard when the adhesive fails completely and the glass falls out on a roadway or turns into a projectile inside the car while driving.

Rear window has become unglued from top. Car has no damage to other parts of top and has been well maintained. This is a known problem and Chrysler refuses to accept responsibility for all regions of the United States. Car only has 37,400 miles.

- Aberdeen, MD, USA

Rear glass has separated from convertible top at the bottom for 10 to 12 inches. Fear that the rest will pull free if I continue to drive. Called repair places and was told it could not be repaired due to the way it was manufactured and had to be replaced. Car is garage kept and driven 3500 miles a year, top looks like new otherwise. Have informed my local Chrysler dealership where I have inspection and oil changes performed and was told that someone would contact me. Nothing as of yet.

- Rancho Mirage, CA, USA

The rear window separated from the convertible top. This happened 2 months after I came out of a 7yr warranty that I paid a lot for. I called Chrysler. They said they are only fixing tops that were originally sent to southern states. So no luck for me--it does get hot in phila. The dealer won't do anything. The Chrysler crossfire forum is full of complaints about this defect. This is very discouraging that an american car maker won't stand behind their product.

- Folsom, PA, USA

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.

Rear glass window separated from convertible top.

- Hemet, CA, USA

Rear window mounted in the convertible top breaks loose and falls. It could have been worse had it come loose at a higher speed, but in the end the major issue is now the large hole allowing water into the inside of the car. Chrysler has acknowledged this issue but only if the car is originally sold in certain states. This car has been in those states almost the entire time it has existed, but because it was sold in California originally it is deemed not covered.

- Phoenix, AZ, USA

The rear adhesive on my 2005 Chrysler Crossfire roadsters rear window, that holds it to the soft top convertible, has begun to detach. I have called Chrysler about the issue and they explained that my vehicle was not covered by the warranty and they will not assist. This is a huge safety concern for me because the window could detach while driving and possibly cause harm and/or death to other drivers on the roadway. I found a service bulletin on the issue with a bulletin # sb-23035-11reva that recommends that the convertible top be inspected and/or replaced if defective. Chrysler is not helping at all with this serious safety issue to help me fix it and make my vehicle safe for myself, and the others around me. I am a member of crossfireforum.org and there are many other people with this issue that have either gotten it replaced by Chrysler for free, or paid a co-pay to help them fix the problem, but I was offered neither for this extremely unsafe issue my vehicle has. Please help me in any way that you can.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire convertible. The contact stated that the rear window became detached. As a result, the trunk would become filled with water whenever it would rain. The contact spoke with the manufacturer and was told that the component was not under warranty, but wanted the vehicle inspected to see what caused the failure. The contact referenced NHTSA item number: 10042531 (visibility) that was supposed to cover and correct the problem for 10 years and 100,000 miles, but the manufacturer advised that the vehicle was not covered because it was not registered in a southern state. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 51,000.

Rear glass on convertible top fell out.

- Baton Rouge, LA, USA

Rear window separated from top. Leaks water in rain and is a safety issue at any speed. Dealer had me call Chrysler for details on warranty code X31. Tsb sb-23035-11rev a Chrysler indicated even though this vehicle's problem is consistant with all other complaints being addressed by warranty X31 and the vehicle is currently being utilized in the state of tennesee where the "recall" is active the problem is that the vehicle was not originally purchased in one of the covered states and therefoe is not covered. This policy is not fair and consisitant. All 2005 crossfires were built in germany, therefore origination point or us state of initial sale should not be the indicating factor. If the failure occurs during the X31 warranty extension period then the repair should be covered. This is a $3000 problem.

The back window of the convertible is coming unglued.

- Fort Worth, TX, USA

When traveling down the highway I noticed that the glass rear window on my convertible 2005 Chrysler Crossfire roadster had become partially ( only 6 inches where attached at top of glass ) unattached from the canvas top and was hitting against the body when I would hit a bump. When I got home I did an internet search about how to fix it, and found that this is a common problem with the Crossfire rear window of this model year. I called the dealer at that time and they said it was not covered. I had the window glued back but it has sense delaminated again. Now I see Chrysler may have been planning this fix for some time?

Was driving down a city street and started hearing banging from the back of the car. Pulled over and saw that rear window had disengaged from the convertible rag top. Have read hundreds of the same complaints pertaining to the 2005 only. Supposedly Chrysler has admitted it was a defect. Unfortunately my VIN # does not quality and I have 137,000 miles on the car. I have been advised that the window cannot be reglued and the only answer is a brand new top costing thousands of dollars. Chrysler knew of this defect years ago and did not notify anyone. It seems to happen where the weather is warm. It was close to 100 degrees when this happened. I was getting ready to get on the highway and who knows the damage it would have caused my car and another car driving behind me if the window had come off. If I had been made aware, I would have had it checked. Why has there not been a recall?
