What 2008 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster owners say
Windows, wipers & sunroof
When I opened my vehicle to get in, I heard something loud hitting the back panel. I then noticed my rear window had fell 3/4 of the way out and hit the back panel of my car. The adhesive on the rear window assembly failed causing the window assembly to partially fall out. I immediately left the car in park and will not drive it as the remaining portions of the window structure could come out causing an unsafe hazard to myself and others as the window May hit the driver or others on the road when it fully comes out. I only have 33,000 miles on the car and have had this car in my garage since the day I purchased it. This has been a problem with this vehicle since 2005, at which time Chrysler issued an 'extended warranty' which included the cost to fix this defect to those numerous 2005's who complained. …
On July 10 when I left the office, I was driving the car to go home in the afternoon and I noticed a strange noise coming from the back side of the vehicle. In the red traffic light stop I inspected the rear glass and I realized it is detached almost 70%, mainly the bottom portion, just the upper side was attached. I drove carefully about 5 miles to get home and I was worried because the glass can fall off from the car and have an incident while driving in the rush hour in the avenue I always take (45 miles/hr). I cannot drive the car in this condition. I investigated and I see similar reports about this rear glass coming off.

I was driving my 2008 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster when I noticed a wind sound coming from the rear of the passenger side. I noticed a separation in the rear window glass from the convertible top. By the time I arrived home the glass has separated more than half way from the convertible top. I will not drive this Crossfire anymore as I believe this separation mentioned above to be unsafe and could possibly fail completely and cause a hazard to myself and others or crash during driving.
