Buy a new top and let any respectable collision repair shop install it. Forget Chrysler.

I'm not sure where your from, but here where i live, there is an upholstry shop here that does automotive work and they replace tops all the time, you should look for one where you live and see if they can help you.  Call around and ask.  I looked in the yellow pages under upholsterers and found lots that do automotive/boats etc.  Hope this helps.

The back window is falling out of my 05 Crossfire and while i found a shop to repair it it did not last,  I was told this is a common problem with not just the crossfire but some sebrings also.  My top is immaculate other than this and it is clearly a design flaw that typical of my past experiences with chrylser, they have no intention of doing anything to back up the consumer. I am going to purchase a top from  a local shop.

Mine fell out yesterday!!!  we called every where for a relacemnt top and was told they are on back order. i went to a shop that fixes tops and also a cnavas shop, they said it will fall out again if they fix them, i need a whole new top.  Aftermarket ones are not availbale yet.  this seems to be a very common problem with this car. my cay is  2005 and garage kept.

I had the same issue. Ended up taking the car to a repair shop and they stitched in a clear vinyl window. It works great... only drive the car in the warm months so no need for heated back window

I have the same problem 3 months out of Warranty, just fell right out of the top and now the local dealer wants 3800$ to fix it. I feel a class action law suit is in order. Chrysler has been no help. I have 60K in Chrysler products in my driveway and they just don't care. I should have bought an S2000, Honda standsa up for the customer and would have good willed this problem in an instant. Especially since it's a known problem. Chrysler doesn't even have a TSB issued for this. Greatly disapointed and if anyone wants to sue I'll be onboard.

The glass is broken and the top will not go up and down. Do you do the electrical repair for the top as well. I have taken it to two Chrysler dealerships and after 4 mos and 3,000 they tell me they can't fix it and can not replace the top either.

Please go to www.safercar.org and file official complaint. I am having the same exact problem with my 2005 Crossfire.  If enough complaints are filed then they will do something about it. This is the first step for issuing factory recalls.
