So, Glass roof = winter time in NY
today i went to a local dealer to Check out a Tc, the blue one, and i wondered if the cold Ny winter could Be "not so great" for the car, im a little worried about glass roof. its very easy for glass to break in -0 weather? >Correct> Has this brought any concern to anyone(east coast), im not to sure about glass, and negative Zero weather?

I don't think it will be a problem...I assume Toyota/Scion put some thought into their engineering.

i live in chicago...and people have had sunroofs in cities that get well below freezing levels for decades. I highly doubt in this day and age that that glass sunroof would crack due to cold weather.
are you worried about your rear window too? =)

nope, I never found out why.
Like I said, it was either one of three things: someone messed with the glass, something dropped on the glass, or there was a factory defect. I'm thinking the least likely is the factory defect theory. And actually, I'm 99% air pressure was not the cause it broke or that it shattered.
Anyway... pretty much all cars have glass windows. If you're scared of glass on a window breaking because of cold, I suggest you not have a car. The only difference in windows between a tc and any other car is that the edges of the moonroof glass are exposed.
