Just take it to Toyota/Scion/Lexus. They extended the warranty 1 extra year for this specific problem on the 1st Gen tC.

@Alboz215 The enhanced warranty for 7 years from date of first use OR 1 year from the announcement (3/13/13) carries with the vehicle regardless of owner. Simply set up an appointment and as long as it is a defect the dealer will replace it at no cost to you. If you have any friends with 05-10 tC or 04-06 xB with this issue please let them know so they can take advantage of the enhancement. ^AP

I called them as i broke mine a month or so ago and replaced it with a badgeless one. They told me they would be sending me a rebate check to cover the cost of the replacement, but im still waiting

Eitherway, it is good that they are finally addressing the issues with it.

Question Broken plastic

My broke off as well. Is this fix still available? And if so where do I go to get that piece of plastic replaced?

The warranty enhancement is for 7 years from the date of first use of your vehicle OR 1 year from the announcement which was 3/13/13. You more than likely will fall under the 1 year portion so you have until 3/13/14 to take advantage of the enhancement. Simply set up an appointment at your local Toyota/Scion dealer and upon diagnosis they will replace it for you under warranty at no charge. ^AP

I have an '07 tC. The hatch has been broken for over a year now, and I've just been regularly re-taping it in place.

I didn't know about this warranty! That's great, because just locally I've seen several other Scions with the hatch handle broken.
