This 2006 Crossfire Roadster is garage kept. The car was parked, when the glass separated on three sides from the cloth convertible top. Failure of the rear window glass appears to be due to lack of attachment, other than adhesive glue. The cloth convertible top is in good condition. This poses a significant safety hazard to the public, considering the vehicle is rated at speeds in excess of 150 MPH. It appears that Chrysler has recalled some 2005 models which have the same type convertible tops and glass windows, made by karmann. As the safety issues continue I would hope that Chrysler would recall all of these defective parts before the public is seriously injured or killed. I await an urgent response from Chrysler to fix this hazardous problem me. Please contact me with your best efforts to make this right and keep everyone safe. 2-13-18 disappointed driver in east tennessee
Rear glass window falling out of 2006 Chrysler Crossfire convertable. The corners of the rear window started to separate from the roof material.

Body & structure
While driving my car with the top up my rear window became detached. I took the car into the dealership and they informed me that even though the 2005 Crossfire Roadster was covered for the same problem they were not covering the 2006. I contacted Chrysler directly in July of 2014 they told me the same thing. I then had to make a temporary repair for $ 150 and in September 2014 had to replace the top for $ 2,457.62 at a shop recommended by the Chrysler dealership. So I am out of pocket $ 2,607. I contacted Chrysler again last week 5 23 2015 and they replied that since my vehicle was not built in 2005 they were still not covering it. This is a very dangerous problem experienced by numerous drivers. If this window were to come out while driving it could seriously injure or kill a pedestrian or other driver. Chrysler has covered the 2005 for this problem but not later models. …
