No, but anyone with common sense can figure out that a glass deflector will eventually be struck with road debris. Not exactly rocket science buddy......

Do we have to wait for recall notification or can we just bring it in and be done with it?

 

From what I hear as long as the dealer has been notified they will take them in. A couple of people on here took them in before being notified. Of course it may depend on your dealer as well.

 

i just went for an oil change and they ended up taking care of it. i had not received any prior notice from anyone.

We have the laminate on our tC's sunroof. I will take a pic later. The only way you or someone else will know that it is there is if you are really lookin for it.

 

cool.. a pic would be great.. thanks bBlover!!

 

Took mine in this morning. Dealer said to leave it ALL DAY!!? WTH?? The TSB says it should only take an hour. I was the 3rd person in line. Will update later.

*EDIT*-Well, I FINALLY got my tC back. (7.5 hrs later!?) Honestly, you can't tell. There is a very thin (and kinda rough) matte black film on the back of my deflector now. Its hard to take a pic because the film doesn't quite go all the way to the ends of the deflector. Peace out, G's.

 

I got mine done last week @ Fletcher Jones Scion. It only took like 45 minutes total. I was going to snap a pic but honestly you can't see it.

 

oh nice.. so why not laminate the bumper and everything else? JK

 

I just got a notice in the mail to bring my tC in I thought I was lucky and owuldn't have to deal with it. Oh well. I thought this recall was made al ong time ago so I thought I was in the clear.... darn.

 

Dunno if it's been said or not, but this recall appears to be more than a "we'll mail the select few tC's with the issue". I dropped my tC off over the weekend to fix a squeaking sound behind the radio, and when I picked it up 2 days later the guy told me they had taken care of "a voluntary recall" Scion had. When I checked the invoice, sure enough, there was the "fixed glass wind deflector" item.

Cosmetically, it looks the exact same to me. I was just surprised that they'd done it, when from what I'd read on here it wasn't all that big of a deal. Whatever, I've got me some semi brand-new parts.

 

anyone who got this done got any PIX?

 

ok guys and gals its a thin layer of what looks like textured vynle it is put on between the glss and the metl frame i guess it will help the peace from pulling away from the double side tape holding it on origanally ok well of you know anyone with a 06 about 2 month old look at there's because if I post a pic you would never see it Ok but if you want me to post back ok

 

Sorry guys, i forgot to post a pic. I will ASAP!!

 

ok since my tC got recall notice! and i work for a dealer, i will post up pics.. hopefully tomorrow!

 

 

^^^

Thanks for the pics.

Anyone know, is it wierd that I have not yet gotten my notice? My vin is 26755 so I think I'm supposed to be part of this...

 

i just got mines done this past week....the way i see it ...all they did was just add a thin layer of special film...its suppose to be like the one thats in our windshield that keeps it from shattering when the glass is broken....it took them less then an hour to do it.

 

Hi all. This past Saturday, December 3rd, my girlfriend, a friend, and I were cruising down the street going 40mph when we heard glass shattering. We pulled over, and come to find out that the sunroof itself has shattered around the edges and was coming off the rubber holding the glass itself. We have taken pictures and did not see or hear anything hit the glass prior. There are also no visible signs of anything hitting the glass. It just shattered. I know everyone is getting the deflector looked at but was wondering if anyone's sunroof itself ( the part that comes up and back ) shatter. everything was shut and not open when this happened and the sunroof cover kept most of the glass from falling on us. Thanks for your input and she'll definitely look into the deflector recall also.

 

there was someone on here that was talking about how their sunroof itself shattered on a hot day...he even posted pics up too....its was sad....sorry to hear it happend to her
