Spoiler on your mooroof? Are you talking abotu the wind deflector? What you can do about it is have it replaced. Call your Toyota dealership and ask them to order one for you.

Shattering the wind deflector would suck. Time for a call to the dealer.

I don't think their gonna replace it. It wasn't a defect so I don't think they are liable. It's just like the crappy straight windshield/rock catcher we have. I tried and it's a no go.

Why would the warranty cover it? Nice try, but this is what insurance is for.

if it's not raining I have my moonroof open, even on the highway. what good is it if I can't open it? accidents happen, that's what insurance is for. at least this didn't happen to you...

Do you think if we used a clear film (kinda like bluebats overlays) it would help lessen the chance of shattering our deflectors?

Opinions?

Time for someone to make a CF wind deflector. Would that work? Pretty cool I think if you are into CF stuff. Yeah tC's are rock magnets. Damnit
Shoot rocks!

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the manual says not to go over 45 mph with your moonroof open.
