The product I'm talking about is Ragg Top which nova said.
My husband found the product here in GA and went to the address given and found the guy selling out of his house. So he got a lot of info. My husbands MG's will need this for sure when he puts the new tops on. As for the recall it was for radiator cooing fan assembly. The letter said the radiator cooling fan may have been improperly assembled. This can cause the fan motor to fail & result in the engine damage from overheating under certain operating conditions.

Hey GG and anyone else that might not know this. When I took my car in for the recall the service guy told us that we should get a 15K TRANS SVC. That cost me $334.31 with a discount of 10%, but also included my touch paint. They said I wouldn't need to flush it again until 100,000 miles.
If you don't do it now at 15K then it would void the warranty.

Per the recall letter (and it's pretty minor):
"The radiator fan motor on your vehicle (your VIN # here), may have been improperly assembled. This can cause the fan motor to fail and result in the engine damage from overheating under certain operating conditions."
I'm taking mine in either today or tomorrow to get it replaced. Estimated time for completion is approximately 1/2 hour.

Thanks for the information. Why owould the trans SVC not be covered under warranty? I would think something that would affect the warranty should be covered. I will call my dearler today, but I bought my car used. I would imagine if the recall work was done, Chrysler would have it in their computer data base under the vin number. I'll ask about your 15K trans issue. I've not heard of this on other chat lines, and maybe they need to be aware, as well.

The TSB you are referring to is for the Recall E19 "Cooling Fan Control Module" simple and quick fix, unless there is a back order on the part.
The 15k transmission service seems weird, I have over 16000 miles on my Roadster Limited and my car is serviced religiously when the FSS is actived. If service was due your FSS should be sending you a message. I would definately get a second opinion. The routine service on your XFire unless negotiated at sale or as a comp from your dealer, will be at your expense. Another bit of advice that I can give new owners is to "check your heated seats" many owners (myself included) have had there seats either repaired or replaced due to malfunction.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this board. I just bought a new 2005 Limited Roadster in March and so far I'm really enjoying the car. I sold my much-loved 2001 Corvette to buy it and so far I haven't been sorry. My question is about the luggage. I got a wheeled case shortly after I bought the car but that was it. There are supposed to be three pieces of luggage? What else did you get? Sounds like I need to give my saleman a call!

When my wheeled case came by UPS I wasn't expecting it either. Were they all in the same box or did they come in separate boxes? Maybe I need to look inside the wheeled case?

There should be 3 pieces, call your dealer.
