Mine is real visible. It looks like fiberglass.

 

go to your dealer see what they say. evan thought its hard as hell to see its still there and something should be done about it cuz ts gonna be in the back of your mind forever!

the flex of death i told ya! j/k

 

It's only gonna be in the back of your mind if you see it in the first place. If anyone is thinking of checking their tCs, I recommend that they don't do it. If you look hard enough for imperfections then you are bound to find some.

 

kinda like being a hypochondriac huh?

 

lol...i wonder if it was like the rattle... i bet half of the ppl noticed or cared till some1 brought it up.

 

i have this, i saw it a looooong time ago, i cant feel it, but with the right lighting and angle, i can see 3 distinct ripples on the passenger side

 

so what would be the long-term repercussions if i just ignored it (if that's even what's wrong w/ mines)? i don't think about it unless i see the light hit it in a specific way.. otherwise it's just another dent added to my ever-increasing collection

 

Passengers will eventually fall out...

 

i dont see anything unusal....

 

My friend said why dont I fix it or just replace it with reinforcement. If anybody is thinking of replacing it dont waste your time. Itl cost almost if not over 1K for each side depending on who you go to. Its just one of those things we all have to live with. It honestly doesn't bother me I dont really care its only visible from an awkward angle.


If you want to get it grinded down and bondoed over its allot more cost effective but still a waste. Maybe 600 a side.

 

I noticed these "dents" in my tC shortly after I bought it (it's an 08, bought in July). Only I have been able to see them and I have to look at the car at the perfect angle in the perfect light. I chalked them up to where two body panels were welded together.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it, and honestly I'm not too worried about it.

 

I personally tried finding the mysterious ripple, but IMO it's like the lock nes monster.

I think I spotted it, but then again all the bobbing and weaving I did to try to get an eye on it my mind was probably fed up and I imagined it.

Rattles everywhere, crappy paint, clips holding it together... i've come to the conclusion of it is what it is... a Scion, not a Lamborghini. Still I <3 it.

 

wow the pot is stirring !

 

1az, what dealer did you take your car to, to get this fixed?

I think in most cases, it's not worth worrying over.

 

THAT IS UNTIL PEOPLE START FALLING OUT!!!!!!

 

lol!!!

 

lol...i havent noticed anything yet on mine

 

i have this too. not sure if it's on both sides or now but i know i've seen them. at least i know what caused them now. if i get a chance, i'll snap a pic with my DSLR and maybe they'll show up lol

 

i have like 4 on each side where DanelNC06 has his and one on the body between midway of the hatch and rear passenger window. have like a wave effect going on all the way from under the middle of the rear window to the taillight BTW have hotchkis spring & camber kit, & TRD rear sway
