So Roberta & I spent the weekend at Fontana Lodge having to hold the hatch open when we wanted to gain access to the area below. (Note: If I parked on a somewhat level surface, the hatch struts would support the hatch in the open position. So I knew the strut cylinders were just beginning to enter the failure mode.) Late yesterday, the new replacements strut cylinders arrived via Amazon and we installed these earlier today. Oh what a difference!! Cost me $21.19 for the pair (incl sales tax) with free shipping from Amazon Prime.
Any details available for the record? Thanks in advance.

The key fobs are selling for Canadian residents only.
Here what I got at checkout: Accepting and Fulfilling Orders for Canada ONLY. We are unable to ship outside of Canada

I called my Chrysler dealer and they said keys were able to be ordered? Then I checked on skreems and they said it simply says discontinued/NLA. It is confusing.

That is out of date. I am waiting for prices from them.
Edit
They will not tell me.

In Canada
2 key fobs
Brand new

The parts manager cut me a deal because I waited so long.(A year)
Up until today there felt like little chance of ever getting them. I really needed a fob so to me it was priceless.

I’ve worked with this dealer a long time and they had been really supportive with parts for my conversion
It’s a good relationship (they are a chrysler dealer but they are NOT a stealer ship)
Relationship with the dealer resulted in a Great deal for me. Unfortunately I cannot share actual price but was under $650 per fob

THE BEST incentive to not lose either FOB, OR have the damn SKREEM either bypassed or deleted!

You could have gotten two new keys from SOS Diagnostics for about $450.00.

Finally...removed the loose cap from the passenger side fog light. Used the needle nose plier method to extract the loose cap. Also replaced both fog light bulbs. Now, just waiting for Needswings to send me replacement panels to cover the openings on both sides. Yes, I'm slow to replace those, too.

I'm glad you mention this with cold weather coming, my rear hatch strut cylinders were the cause of me getting thumped in the head parked uphill last winter a couple of times. Good reminder, they will be here next week!

Cool Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?

Well Friday I changed the oil and filter. Yesterday I replaced the spark plugs, all twelve of them, Ahhhhhh. Used the hose puller pliers from Harbor freight and a short wobble extension, removed coil packs to make more room. Went with the NGK Iridium IX. She's purring like a kitten.
2005 Roadster limited black 88,700 miles.

One of mine came loose and was wrecked because it rubbed against the tire. I fitted new covers from NeedsWings and then put black Gorilla tape around them. They are not going to spring open anytime soon.

I looked at the odometer and realized that I would be putting on less than 300 miles on the car this year. The total mileage will not reach 40,000 miles this year, it’s 39,700 at the moment.

Black Gorilla tape, crap, what a great idea!!!

I’ve lost 4 of these covers and it never dawned on me.

No crap gets through the gaps either.
I started with a strip over the latch, then I thought I might as well go all around.
Maybe I should do a ‘How To’ and get it made into a sticky. 🙄

Never lost a cover. Never thought about losing a cover. But it seems like a good prophylactic to me.

Bought Black Gorilla Tape and taped up the covers...great idea above^^^. Taped up the 2inch tear in the leather drivers seat bolster...hey, it was worn pretty bad when I got it..(black srt).
Parked the Aero Blu roadster out in the yard with a For Sale sign on it....no hurry, it still needs a couple of things done to it.

I've got to look at these on my 2007 Coupe.
