The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Crossfire. The contact stated that the rear window was separating from the convertible top. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. Updated 04/21/2016
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.

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 NHTSA 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.
Glass falling out of convertible top. Dealership admits to problems with 2005 model but not the 2006 model. No warranty for repairing the top according to dealership. Extended warranty purchased with car but it does not cover the top either.

The rear glass window has fallen off from the convertible top posing a safety issue. This is a known issue with this car as Chrysler recalled 2005S for the same issue but not the 2006. I have found online that I am not the only one with this issue.

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!
2006 Chrysler Crossfire convertible. Back glass fell out. Appears that it is glued into the top and the glue failed. Word from Chrysler dealership is that there is no fix for it. Only solution is to replace entire convertible top at a cost of 2400 dollars. Hard to believe that it cannot be just glued back in since that is how it was installed to begin with from the factory. Also have extended warranty but was told that it is not covered because that is considered normal wear and tear.
