i posted this elsewhere since i am desperate for information. i've had this car since August of this year and needless to say i'm pretty ____ed off.


so i was leaving the hardware store when i opened the driver's side door to get in and i hear this loud popping sound. look at my hatchback glass and there is a crack from the top left down to the middle of the hatchback with glass starting to cave in. the entire piece of glass spidered. checked to see if someone shot it out...nope...no bullets in the car (thank god since i was right there) and no baseballs, rocks or other throwables. simply put, the glass shattered on it's own accord. has anyone had any trouble with this at all???? i have to take it to the dealership tomorrow and explain to them that this must be some kind of manufacturer's defect since there's no way in hell I did it. please any help would be rad. in the picture you can see like a "fault line" at the top of the hatchback where the glass cracked all the way across. email me at
erikkah@winntech.com or anti_erikka@yahoo.com if you have heard of this type of thing happen... thanks all!

 

sorry this happened to ya..... atleast no glass fell on you. I havent been around the forum for too long but I have read that early model 05's had the roof glass shatter.... never read about the hatch glass shattering but it's always possible.

 

thanks CuriousFish, i need all the ammo i can get when i go to the dealership tomorrow.

 

Not that it couldn't have shattered on its own, but you should also take into account that someone could have hit it/tapped it with something to cause a crack, or it could have been hit with something at another point in time causing a stress crack. Good luck with it either way.

 

while that is entirely possible, i spend alot of time in and around my car and probably would have noticed it. if the scion tc's glass is that fragile, who's to say the rest of the car won't crumble?

 

Well, I only brought that up due to the fact that in reading these forums for over a year now I haven't seen another tc's hatch glass just shatter;) It is possible it did, but I would consider that a pretty isolated incident considering the amount of people on this forum. Quite possible you got a defective hatch that had an imperfection in the glass. Hopefully Toyota can check it out and tell you what they think it was, keep us all updated.

it doesnt say anything about the hatchback part
but im pretty sure its the quality of the car too

 

^^ I believe that recall was for 05-06 MY.

 

sorry premium member you would post a few too if you were trying to figure out what could have possibly destroyed the glass in your car. give a noob a break, i've had a really crappy day and forum ettiquette is the least of my problems.

 

yes it was for 05 and 06
im just letting her know there was recall and that might be it
