The windstop is a great accessory by all accounts for those who ride a lot on the highway and for keeping the chills away on cool nights and early/late in the top down season. I'll probably get one this fall despite its ~$300 Canadian price tag.
Just ask the dealer the next time you have it in.
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
Great looking car, kenitzer. My hubby originally thought he wanted the sapphire but we ended up with the red. He actually spent an hour trying to decide between the sapphire, silver or red and finally went with his heart. He has always wanted a red convertible and it is sharp. But your sapphire is very, very cool.
Anyway, the test with the SLE wasn't that great. I had serious trouble reading the LED on the dash with the top down (I think it's my polarized script sunglasses), the back view was down-right frightening, and then when I went to accelerate onto Central Expressway, it seemed as if the car hesitated before doing the get-up-and-go thing. It wasn't the best impression, although it was a very comfortable ride and the safety record (at least as far as the coupe goes) is practically unbeatable. I would like to give it another run, but they are ten kinds of hard to find right now to test.
I appreciate your time in answering and if you have anything to add re: the Sebring that might make me think twice, please don't hesitate to email me.
Thanks!

I have had my Sebring since late June 2004 and have been very pleased thus far. I typically get 22-24 mpg with around town commuting and I have recorded 30.5 mpg with strictly Interstate travel. I have had no issues to date with a little over 4000 miles on the clock.
I really wanted to get an Audi A4 3.0 Conv. or a Saab 93 Conv., but with a son entering college next year, I really couldn't justify the additional $13,000-$16,000. Maybe I can move upscale when I get rid of the Sebring, and when my son and daughter have finished school. BTW, my 6'1", 230lbs football player son fits in the back seat of the Sebring just fine, thank you. It's a tough package to beat for the $$$$$.

asking Chrysler to extend the Warranty and honor the one they have now. there are many problems with this engine
they glued mine back on and it's been fine for over a year
Most of the cars I've seen have a vynyl top, they don't look nearly as nice as the canvas. How do they hold up? The black appears to fade fairly quickly. Any one with experience?
I don't necessarily think vinyl is any less durable.

Does anyone have a schematic of the 2.5 L engine or FSM they would like to sell?
The better condition alone justifies the cost, never mind the lower miles.

The other one would come with 3 month/3k mile bumper to bumper. Then 8yr/80k miles on drive train items.
Thanks

You don't have to link anywhere else to get good information. Edmunds has the best site available for checking on models, pricing, cost to own, etc.
You can start right here:

And then come back to us in this forum for any further questions.
First, get the 6 cylinder. Even with the 6, this car isn't fast. The 4 will be lethargic and fell like its working hard all the time. Look for a GTC, it's got the 6 with cloth/vynyl interior and is only a nominal price premium.
Basically, the LXi=Touring
Here are my thoughts. A new 04 Touring will cost an aggressive negotiator $22,000 to $23,000 net of all the rebates. A rental return with 15k to 20k miles will run the same buyer $16k to $18k. That's a pretty compelling savings.
The interiors looked nearly new in 20 or so rental returns I looked at. As dealer resales, the exteriors are in good shape though there are a few nicks and dings as you would expect.
One knock on the Rentals is that they all seem to come with the Vynyl roof which, IMO isn't nearly as nice as cloth.
General background, I bought the car used at 64,000 mi. Drove it until 95,000 mi. Replaced timing belt, water pump and shop found several correded parts that needed to be replaced at additional cost. Teenage daughter now drives the car and loves it, but of course I want to fix the turn signals.
Just my 2 cents...
Went with a 2004 Sebring V4 basic convertible. Cloth interior. Silver with a black top. Only 9500 miles on it. Really really perfect inside and out. 2 yrs 4 months to go on bumper to bumper plus it included Certified 8yr 80K warranty on engine , transmission, power train type things.
Paid $13,000 hope I didn't overpay but I sure like it so far.
Is that where it should be if not what are common causes? Thanks
Also, I have gotten it fixed, but when I put the top up, it doesn't come as close to the windshield as it used to. The result is I have to really pull down hard to latch it. Is this normal as well? I'm afraid it's going to put undue strain on something and cause more problems.
If anyone has any insight or answers, that'd be great... thanks
Perhaps if the material were wet, the freezing temperatures could cause the material to be less pliable and therefore cause a tightness in the top. But this would not be an issue in the high 40's and 50's.
