I was driving my 2008 Chrysler crossfire roadster that I bought in tampa, fl. On september 22nd 2014 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. I live in sacramento, ca. *tr

Rear wind shield starting to separate and fall out of convertible top. Understood there was a tsb for this for 2005, but 2006, 2007, 2008 models have the same affliction. *tr

I went away on vacation for a week and left my 2008 crossfire at home. Three days after leaving, my grandson calls and tells me that the rear windshield had detached from the convertible top and was laying inside the car. Thank god he caught it and covered it because that night they had 3 inches of rain overnight.

Summary: the rear window glass separated from convertible fabric top while the vehicle was parked. Details: on 8/13/2016, at about noon, near bertram, texas, on a hot clear day, I parked the subject vehicle along the side of a residential road. The vehicle was in sight the whole time. Nothing struck or touched the vehicle while I talked to neighbors for about an hour. When I returned, the rear window had separated from the canvas on the bottom and sides, and the lower portion of the window was resting on the rear deck inside the car. The window was still precariously attached along the top. The wires connecting to the window glass defogging elements were still attached at the sides. It appeared the bead of glue around the edges had failed, perhaps due to heat. It had detach

While vehicle was at the dealer for routine maintenance I was told the rear window of my convertible fell out and was laying on the rear shelf. Was told there was nothing Chrysler could do about this. Seems this is quite common with the tops. A recall was issued for the 2005 models but seems the problem still exist. Was also told to have the top replaced ($2500) and keep the receipt if there is a recall I would be reimbursed. There have been hundreds of complaints about this. How many does it take?

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.

Driving down the interstate at 70 MPH the rear window detached from the convertible top and crashed into the interior of the vehicle. The dealer claims that the sealant/adhesive failed and the rear window but it could not be re-attached. The Chrysler dealer ordered a new top with window. The dealer stated that there were no recalls or warranties for this repair. The dealer charged $2,605.00 to replace the convertible top. This is a very dangerous safety issue as the rear window could have injured the occupants. *tr

We own an 2008 Chrysler crossfire convertible with 8500 miles. The rear window came completely loose. I have talked to Chrysler customer service and they have refused to do anything about this top. The crossfire has always been garaged. It does not stay outside. Hays Chrysler will not help either. I spoke to a local convertible shop and was told the window could not be repaired. I own an 05 crossfire that had the same problem and Chrysler replaced the top. It makes no sense one would be repaired and the other rejected. This is an ongoing problem with many others. Please look into this problem for me and see what you can do!!

The owner of the vehicle was driving at a rate of speed of approximately 40 MPH and detected an unusually loud rattling noise from behind. After approaching and stopping at a traffic light, the owner/driver turned and looked to discover that approximately 1/4th of the entire rear window assembly had detached from the convertible top. The adhesive that attaches the soft-top canvas material to the rear window has failed. The owner is concerned that the remaining adhesive will also fail resulting in the entire window falling out and potentially causing an accident. Owner deems the vehicle as unsafe to drive. A prior complaint of a similar incident (also with the 2008 Chrysler crossfire roadster) with this same issue was recently filed on may 20th, 2013(NHTSA-id-number: 10412807 & VIN# [x
