The rear glass window falls out of the convertible roof and into the passenger compartment. This is chronic with most crossfire roadsters. Easily investigated and verified. It can happen while moving or standing still.Owner report · Structure · Oct 2019

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler crossfire. While driving approximately 55 mph, the rear glass window separated from the convertible roof top and fell inside the cabin of the vehicle.

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.Owner report · Visibility/Wiper · Jun 2017
The back window of the crossfire has separated from the top. We saw this while we were walking around it in garage. I have called chrysler and they say there is nothing they can do. We bought this car in 2008 and is kept in a garage. I only have 53000 miles on it. I know they have a problem with the windows falling out because they a fixing them in 2005 models but not the 2006 models. Is there any thing I can do because a replacement top is very expensive. We have had the window resealed twice and it will not hold.Owner report · Structure · Jun 2016
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.Owner report · Visibility/Wiper · Dec 2015
Rear glass window adhesive failed and wndow is falling out. Glass window on convertable roof is separating from vinal. The window will eventially fall out completely causing unsafe conditions. Called chrysler and was told no warranty or recall and that whole convertable top would need to be replaced for approx $2000. The car is always in a garage and has very few miles. This is obviously a poor design. Window could fall out and cause severe damage or accident.Owner report · Structure · Aug 2015
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler crossfire. The contact stated that rear windshield fell out of the vehicle. As a result, the roof liner on the top rear of the vehicle was hanging down and made it difficult to see. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that the adhesive around the rear windshield failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.Owner report · Visibility · May 2015
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. *trOwner report · Visibility/Wiper · May 2015
Glass window adhesive failing. Glass window is separating from cloth roof. This is a common occurrence in all crossfires. Two areas where the glue/adhesive is failing and causing unsafe conditions. Called chrysler and was told no warranty or recall. Window could fall out and cause severe damage or accident.Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Apr 2015
