Do you now if the new glass is any more expensive?

Dont waste any money trying to buy new glass. Just pester toyota until they fix it correctly. If they cant fix it they have to do something. You may even get a new one. I heard one story of someone getting a new car cause of the stupid windshield.

Yes the new glass is expensive though, so to answer ur question. I still think it will crack anyway due to stress, this isnt cause the glass toyota installs is weak, its just from pressure.

There is a lemon law in CA. I am not sure of the exact details, but if they can not fix the same problem after so many attempts they have to buy the car back.

If you want Scion to pay for cracked windshields up to 60K miles like Honda did for the Element, why not join the class action lawsuit? Just go to the thread at:
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...ss+action+suit

Why would we want extended coverage? We are being put through hell to get it replaced every month. What happens after 60k? We are flipped after that.

Extended coverage to 60K would be better than nothing. A settlement of a class action suit is a negotiation where neither side gets everything they might have wanted.

I wish you all luck with your windshield replacements.

The issue is only with the 06 xB i believe.
