I dont know what you little boys expect. You go and buy a $16,000 car and then you expect quality too?

If you want quality go buy a real toyota not some cheap undercut grade SCION

mine rattles/flexes when just barely propped open (so it isnt in the fully open/retracted position at all). i generally drive with it in that position 95% of the time. it is a bit annoying, but i'm not sure if anything can be done to fix it.

yea my sunroof is starting to rattle to the point I dont keep it open. The dealer claimed that it was just air flow getting under it and there is a tbs for it, but clearly when I hit bumps is when it rattles so when i go in for my next oil change i will ask them to check it out again. anyone with a fix or solution yet?

Having had my xA for 2 years this was one of the things "Rattles" which I am worried about. The xA is the rattle king . So this is my main concern when I was first eying on the 06 tC then the 07 which was unchanged. Got the 08 finally. the only rattle was with the wind deflector when open or up. on real bumpy roads. No rattles anywhere as of the moment crossing my fingers . But on the sunroof part right where the wind deflector and the sunroof meets the put a thicker rubber lining to prevent it from rattling much when closed ( I heard some people have their sunroofs rattle or rub with the wind deflector when they are closed ) But if the sunroof itself is rattling when open even on a good paved road. There is something loose with it try tightening it I guess thats what my friend did.

Mines in the shop for this exact issue as we speak!!! As well as for the hatch, they ordered parts against the TSB for the hatch but they said it didn't work, so they are going to keep searching so I will post any updates.

Let me guess you come here on sl to make fun when you get the chance. What car do you own, let me guess rsx. Go back to where you came from.
