Hatch Release Melted
Hi, so my hatch release button has been getting pretty icky in the Houston heat. Every time I open it it leaves black residue all over my fingers. Finally tonight I went to open the hatch and I see that the button has actually melted.
Anyone know where I can get this replaced/fixed? I would prefer if it were a different material seeing as this one can't take Houston weather.

I'm in Port St Lucie and mine is doing the same thing... thinking on what I can do to get a different material so this does not happen again...
this sucks cause how many people are having or had problems with the plastic piece and now the button wtf... what was Scion thinking when they designed this..

I just bought a used '08 a few weeks ago and just noticed that this happened. I bought it as it, so no warranty. I did however buy an extended warranty thru my Credit Union. I dropped off the Scion today and said the extended warranty does not cover this. I think that is a bunch of BS, but whatever. I plan on fixing this myself but not sure where to get the part from. Anyone have any suggestions??
