Yeah, the dealer called to tell me that everything was approved for warranty replacement, and that rental car fees will also be covered. I gotta say that Smithtown Scion was all over this and handled it well. Props to them. Actually, I shouldn't really jinx myself since I didn't actually get the car back yet, but it seems like it's going smoothly.

I'm shopping for a new car this weekend. I will miss my tC dearly. (I will be looking at an xA so maybe I'll stay in the Scion family.)

I really feel for you, that's odd how it would just shatter like that. At least It wasn't a rock the size of your head coming at you from outta nowhere. ( https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...947&highlight= ). I'm glad that you are ok and that the dealer replaced it without any hastle. Good luck!

What was the purpose of raising the wind deflector after the fact?

I guess the mechanism thinks the roof is open since the glass is not there. I found it humorous as well.

Well, today I got a call from the dealer to say that the whole roof assembly has to be replaced, not just the glass, so it will take a couple more days. I'm thinking "like duh", of course it's not the glass - metal rods and bars were all over the inside of the car. Oh well. I'm going to put a call in to Scion customer service and try to find out some more info on this, like if the '06 roof is any different than the '05, and if the new glass they're putting in is any different than the old glass. I'd really like to find a way to keep the tC, but I'm finding it difficult to convince myself that the car is safe (maybe not *all* tCs, but I'm convinced MY tC is NOT safe.)

Can I buy your CC short shifter from you if you get rid of your car?

If the roof was closed, why is the front wind diflector part up? Or did something mechanical in the sunroof break, causing the glass to shatter? Just my thoughts on the issue. Maybe someone over tightened a nut and it decided to bust. lol. Glad to hear its warrantied. The xA's aren't bad and I never see nearly as many as them as I do tC's.

That's an excellent point that I didn't think of. I had just assumed that the glass went and then the deflector went up. It didn't occur to me that something failed first, the deflector maybe goes up, and then the glass shatters. Interesting.
