I read somewhere they are upgraded pistons for when you get the spoiler on the back of the car. With wiper is for the Canadian version of the tC2.

That's one of those things where people are always unhappy. You have the wiper, you don't want it. You don't have the wiper, you want it. Other than on SUVs and minivans, I don't see the point of the rear wiper...

Side Window Visors
$174.00
Side Window Visors for the tC come in a dark,
smoked finish that blends well with the blacked-out
A-pillar. A SCION logo in the top corner lets you
know these visors are the real

found this on scion.ca wonder if this will be released in the us

Not really. My best bet would be to find someone in Canada, and have them ship them too me. I asked TRDsparks if they could get them and they said no. Matter of fact....they said they could only get US spec stuff.....but if they sell the rear window wiper....wth?
Regardless, I have not persued it very hard because of the price. $174 for 2 windows, and I would have to pay shipping from Canada. My last car was $49.99 for all four windows! I am still crossing my fingers that the company Kidjustin has been working with will get some visors out soon, at a lower cost.

i think they are just stronger struts in order to hold more weight and when you add the spoiler your supposed to upgrade to something stronger aka these ...
