I recentyly busted my back glass out in a wreck. I just got it back from the shop. The latch on the hatch is sticking because glass got in there. I told the guy not to worry bout it cuz it was another 230 dollars and i was already paying for the damage myself. Does anyone know if my warranty would fix this?

 

make the other insurance co. pay for it...its not warranty, its an insurance claim...unless you were at fault, then you might want to pay out of pocket instead of risking a higher premium for a few years...

 

i did it myself i have already fixed all the other damage i just would like to know if that would be coverd under warranty

Like if i told them that the latch was just sticking and i didnt know what was wrong with it???

 

i don't think warranty covers broken parts from a wreck

 

I wouldnt say it was from the wreck though i mean it didnt happen in the wreck but when i was cleaning it up and glass got down there. Couldn't i some how blame it on scion for like not covering that area so ____ doesnt get lodged in there??

Im just trying to get out haveing to pay 230 for a new latch and just wanted everyone on heres opinion.

 

well...dunno...they might question how the glass bit got in there...once they find out about the wreck, they probably will blame it on that and refuse warranty on it...

 

thats fraud dude, either pay for it and get it fixed, or dont.

 

Yes you could do this, but know that you would be filing a fraudulent warranty claim. The defective part will probably be investigated to see what's wrong, and once they find the glass in there they will question how it got there. And then you'll start getting questions, and etc...

Basically, yeah you can try it but be prepared for the consequences of intentionally filing a fake claim.

i just said that ravidavi... -_- lol

 

Well doesnt anyone know of a place online i could get one cheaper than that at? Cuz my hatch want open.

 

call megeorge parts. www.mcgeorgeparts.com and get their phone number and ask for some help. mcgeorge is a great place to do business

 

Thanx everyone for ur opinions. I wouldnt want to file a bad claim. I will try mcgeorge and see what he can do for me.

 

My friend had a similar problem to yours and did what you are thinking of and then some. Pretty much its a lot of work for small savings and very large costs if you get caught which in your case doesnt look too good. Just pay it and get it over with and leave it as a learning experience. Is there any way to take the latch apart and clean it out? Might be worth a shot if its not going to damage anything else.

 

I was typing my post when you submitted yours. :D Looks like I lose. But then again, what you said was an obvious consequence of maximus' post, so he gets the prize. Whatever that is.
