I found this today after having my 08 XB for a week and a half. This is a piece of a plastic that is
in front of the windshield on the driver side. Should I have the dealership fix it? Thanks for your opinions.

 

if you cant pop it back in then you should DEFINATLY have them fix it. I mean your car is brand new, you paid for every part on the car as new...that doesnt look new... get it fixed no biggie.

 

I think I'd complain about it when you take the car in for your complementary 5K service and tire rotation.

 

If it were mine they'd be fixing it.

 

Thanks. That's 3 out 3. So I will have them put more tape on it.

 

WE LOVE WARRANTY WORK!! R&R wiper cowl 2 hours labor please! (pop! done).


bring it back talk to the salesmen he will probably just send out an hourly tech to look at it to see if it actually needs to be replaced or just snapped back in.

 

Actually, I looked underneath it and it was hold together by a 2 sided tape. I don't know why scion added that piece to the car. I don't see a point to it.

 

i agree, mke a point of it. you paid for it. besides that is what a bumper to bumper warrenty is for.

 

yep, take it in, just don't let them wash your car. I had mine in for service and they totally scratched up my paint by washing it, they took care of it and detailed it, but service porters have no idea how to wash a car

 

That is bad looking! I cannot believe a car manufacturer would use double sided tape on an exterior piece. I wonder how many will have this problem... most likely a lot. This will be the first TSB for the 08 xb.

I think if you removed the A pillar black tape and that piece, it may look ok. I wonder if the black tape and plastic piece was a last minute addition to the new model?

 

maybe were you are but the porter where I take mine in TX is a fellow scion owners and knows how to take care of cars FTW....

 

X2, off topic, but I took my tC in for a warranty service this past weekend. Spent 2hrs washing/waxing/detailing her Friday, Sat the work was done, and they gave it a complimentary wash of spraying it down with a hose Talk about being ____ed

I too would have them look at it and have them fix/replace it. New cars aren't suppose to do that

 

take it in, you paid for YOUR new car

 

if it's just taped on take it off on both sides and bring a lil more color to your ride.

 

I have the same thing. I haven't bothered to take a look just yet.

 

is it just me or dose my first gen 05 not have that what the heck am i looking at?? ad yes more and more car companys are usng duble sided tape to hold thing on the newer cars.. like out emblems for one.

 

Same exact thing happened on mine.....
Taking it in for repair

 

I just got back from the dealership. They are going to order a new piece and fix it tomorrow. I don't see why scion would add more plastics on the outside of the car. The Summer heat can cause the plastic to warp.

 

Wow, I guess I was right... it might be the first technical service bulletin for the 08 xb!

 

Dealer fixed mine this morning, said it was a clip missing or damaged ...Looks ok now
