Help! Rear Skirt Came Off
Help Guys
I was driving through an unexpected rain puddle at 35MPG and the force of the water ripped the whole rear skirt off, should this repair be under the warranty?? Bad Craftsmanship??

i have contacted Scion; they said it is not possible for them to determine if it will be covered under warranty, i would have to take the car to the dealership for inspection
whatever the case may be, it's still shady for the skirt to come off so easily
i will try to fix it this weekend
.....sorry, no pics.....if you've see those JGTC cars, thats what it looks like, you can see the whole muffler etc....luckily, at least i have a DC one hanging

you guys suck.... haha, i just posted about this a day or two ago...
anyhow, the dealership said that they wont cover it, and its like $300 for the piece. forget that, i fixed it myself. mine was just the right side, not the entire thing. if it's not damaged, just put it back on. it clips on. i believe the right side goes on first, then the left side, because there's a lip in the center that puts the two together. there is also a big push pin that holds the inner side of the left skirt up. then i zip tied the two together in the bottom where they come together. if that doesn't make sense, im sorry... but its not too hard to figure out.

Personally, I think that it's bad design to have that thing waving in the breeze like that. Water splash shouldn't be able to tear any part of your car off!
