WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD I NOTICED THAT THE GLASS REAR WINDOW ON MY CONVERTIBLE 2005 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE ROADSTER HAD BECOME PARTIALLY UNATTACHED FROM THE CANVAS TOP AND WAS HITTING AGAINST THE BODY WHEN I WOULD HIT A BUMP. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH ABOUT HOW TO FIX IT, AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CROSSFIRE REAR WINDOW OF THIS MODEL YEAR AND ALTHOUGH CHRYSLER ADMITS THE PROBLEM THEY ARE ONLY FIXING/COVERING THE REPAIR BASED ON THE VIN #. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A SOLSTICE OR S2000. I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW TOP WHICH IS THEIR ONLY SOLUTION OF COURSE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I TOOK IT TO SEVERAL SHOPS TO SEE IF THEY WOULD RE-GLUE IT FOR ME. THE TOP IS MINT EXCEPT FOR THE LOOSE WINDOW. C'MON CHRYSLER MAN UP AND FIX THIS FOR...
