I looked at the manufactuers date on my tC...Mine was Born on April 06....SO..did they fix the moonroof / deflector ahattering problems???.....I never was told about that at the dealership at ALL! or any notices in the mail...and didnt findout till I read all these threads on scionlife about other peoples moonroof / deflector exploding etc....

Thanks Once Again!!!!

 

Yeah your fine, it was fixed early in the '06 run, got my '06 in Sept '05 and already taken care of.

 

RELAX... if you're THAT worried about it.. go to the dealer and have them check.

 

if your front little piece of glass(not the large piece of sunroof, the little flap that rises up) has some form of tape behind it...
then its fixed.

 

Mine was built in July 05, and when I called the dealer to ask about the TSB for the wind deflector they told me it was already done at the factory. You're tC is all good.

 

they fixed it with tape?

 

Plastic laminate. Basically it holds the glass together if the deflector happens to shatter. In the event the deflector shatters, the shards won't fly everywhere or at you while you're driving.

 

wut he said.!

 

I picked up my car in June of 05, and I got a notice in the mail about the TSB. I have yet to actually go to the dealer tho. I'll check the manufacture date of my car later and edit this post with the info.

 

Honestly, this wind deflector issue is what's keeping me from buying this car. No one in this forum so far has convinced me to continue pursuing it. I haven't bought a tC yet (waiting on a 2007) but what happens if you get the laminate, and the glass breaks. You get it fixed, then it happens again. Then what?

 

I've had an '05 for two years, and it hasn't happened to me.

If you're that concerned about it, get the extended warranty and just pay an extra $30.00 a month for six years of coverage.

Honestly, it's more than worth it. If something covered under the warranty were happen to my car, the maximum I'd have to pay to have it fixed would be $50.00. Of course, the Toyota warranty covers everything the factory warranty covers, if not more.

I've had an excess of $800.00 of interior parts, total, counting parts replaced by Tustin Toyota after they gouged the heck out of my center console doing some routine maintainance, and finally by Power Toyota Irvine, who replaced all the dash panels without scraping up or gouging other ones.

Honestly, if something happens to a new car that isn't supposed to happen, you will have it fixed. There's no way you can buy a tC, have the sunroof break a couple of times, and be told by the dealership they won't fix it. You can sue for something like that.

And besides:

 

Somnambulated,
Thanks, man! I feel a lot better!

Cheers, everyone!

 

It is glass, glass breaks.
